This series is weird as hell and I like it. The Nevers came out once a week which was great because each episode had a good cliffhanger and spread out information in a way that made me confused yet intrigued. Not confused, mad, and not caring about what happened (looking at you Who Killed Sara?). This takes place in the late 1800's and how one day this ship of some kind floated over London and gave people (mostly women) super powers of various types. The two main characters are Amalia True who is a bad ass fighter and can see glimpses of the future. She uses these glimpses to either avoid danger or gather clues from what she sees. In later episodes we see who she truly is and how she got to this time period. Yes, time travel. The last episode is baffling for 80% of it until its not. The other character is Penance Adair who is an inventor and can “see” energy. She annoyed me.
At first I thought this entire season would be about trying to capture this lady named Maladie who is killing who are called “Touched.” She kidnaps one that has the ability to make the other Touched feel hope. Maladie is confused about this shit. She and True have a past that is shown later. There is a cop that used to date a Touched. A Touched sex club being built. A giant glowing orb underground. Evil Touched like this dude who can't go underwater. Literally. There are a lot of characters with a lot of powers such as a girl who is big for no reason, another that speaks every language, one whose breath turn anything to glass, another that can cause quakes. Just all kinda random ass stuff. It is a good show but not perfect. They released the first half of the season when they really should've just waited and did it all at once because I have a feeling I won't be clamoring to watch this once it returns. It was good but it can easily slip through my mental cracks with all the other stuff I watch.
