This weekend, HBO will introduce audiences to a new fantasy world with
The Nevers, the latest blockbuster series created by Joss Whedon (who left the show last year). Centered around a group of Victorian women who discover unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a desire to change the world, as the logline notes,
The Nevers will be another genre-bending TV event, particularly with the adult-friendly paid cable company constantly on the search for their next
Game of Thrones. Certainly, if the show does well,
The Nevers could boost the profile of its notable cast, which includes Laura Donnelly, Olivia Williams, James Norton, Tom Riley, and Nick Frost. If you re wondering why this distinguished ensemble looks familiar, we re here to help. Here s where you ve seen

MINISERIES TO THE MAX
Not too long ago, in the 1980s and â90s, TV miniseries were junky, bloated, effects-driven affairs, such as âNoahâs Ark,â âGulliverâs Travels,â âArabian Nights,â and âThe Magical Legend of the Leprechauns.â Only PBSâs âMasterpieceâ consistently offered quality miniseries alternatives.

In his five-part series about Patrick Melrose, an upper-class victim of sexual abuse by his father, Edward St Aubyn set a high bar for tragi-comic fiction. Popularised in a TV adaptation starring Benedict Cumberbatch as the sardonic, troubled central character, these books marked St Aubyn out as a latter day heir to Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell, by way of William Burroughs. Double Blind shifts the dial, but remains within touching distance of his old beat. At its core are issues of mental health, impending death, addiction and family life. As if these were not weighty enough, St Aubyn adds a dazzling scientific enquiry, not just into the human psyche and soul, but exploring brain science, ecology, environment and the limits of individual morality.
