Touched:
Series opener
The Nevers is created by Buffy creator Joss Whedon.
This is the first Whedon-created series based on his own idea since Dollhouse (2009-10).
Between Dolllhouse & The Nevers, Whedon had co-created Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2013-20) but this is based on a Marvel property and not something that he originally came up with.
The Nevers has been described as "an epic science fiction drama about a gang of Victorian women who find themselves with unusual abilities, relentless enemies, and a mission that might change the world."
Starring Laura Donnelly as Amalia True and Ann Skelly as Penance Adair. They are the Touched with the said unusual abilities.
Also featuring Olivia Williams as Lavinia Bidlow who is a rich spinster supporter of the Touched who also runs The Orphanage where many of the main characters live.
Williams had earlier been a principal cast member in the aforementioned Dollhouse.
A shocking and horrifying moment came when Maladie (Amy Manson), an unstable member of the Touched came on a stage and killed an actor playing the Devil. No doubt meant as a crude joke this killing.
Thrilling end to this first episode with a flashback of how the Touched got their powers.
