New Show on HBO. Quite interesting. Started as a Joss Whedon show, but he is no longer active, or so I heard. > **[The Nevers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nevers)** > > Pages for logged out editors learn more > > > The Nevers is an American science fiction drama television series created by Joss Whedon for HBO. The series is produced by HBO and Mutant Enemy Productions with executive producers including Whedon, Philippa Goslett, Doug Petrie, Jane Espenson, Ilene S. Landress, and Bernadette Caulfield. The series premiered on April 11, 2021. The first season consists of 12 episodes, split into two six-episode parts. In December 2022, the series was canceled ... A weird Alien ship or meteorite hits London, creating _The Touched_ women (and a few men) with each one unusual ability. The two main protagonists are- Amalia True who can see in the future a bit, although that does not explain her ‘waif-fu’ fighting abilities (but see above for “Joss Whedon”, which explains it). And Penance Adair who designs all sort of weird steampunk devices, due to her ability see see electric fields. Ms. True also seems to fall out of her dresses a lot. It is fun, it is fantasy. It could be better. Anyone else watching it? ---
