(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Sunday’s “The Nevers.”)
At the end of this week’s episode of HBO’s “The Nevers,” the never-emotional Amalia True (Laura Donnelly) breaks down in tears in front of her best friend, Penance Adair (Ann Skelly), Harriet (Kiran Sonia Sawar), Myrtle (Viola Prettejohn) and the other Touched women as they read out the message they deciphered from the late Mary’s (Eleanor Tomlinson) final song.
Together, they run an orphanage financed by wealthy spinster Lavinia Bidlow (Olivia Williams), and face threats to their existence from multiple sources throughout society. There s Maladie, a serial killer giving the Touched a bad name around London. Then there s the mysterious Dr. Edmund Hague (Denis O Hare), rounding up the Touched for his disturbing experiments. And then there s the government: stodgy old white men who mostly despised women and their quest for equal rights anyway even before some women began to have superpowers. Subplots abound, as well: there s the underground sex club run by party boy Lord Hugo Swann, plus Detective Frank Mundi (Ben Chaplin) with his bad reputation and connection to the Touched opera singer, Mary Brighton (Eleanor Tomlinson).
