The Nevers. Why is The Touched’s benefactor Lavinia Bidlow, played by
Rushmore’s Olivia Williams, cavorting below ground with Denis O’Hare’s evil Dr. Edmund Hague? Is she actually a true supporter of The Touched as they are, or is she seeking to capture and harness their special powers? And what is Pip Torrens’ Lord Gilbert Massen up to in Parliament and behind closed doors? His assault on The Touched might seem more forthright, but something feels off there too.
The A.V. Club sat down with Torrens and Williams to talk all about their devious plans, dubious charities, and just what we can expect from the last two episodes of the first half of the first season.

The Nevers, a new show about people with powers, is pretty far removed from garden-variety superhero fare.
Set in the late Victorian era, it is about people who, by the reckoning of the elite in such class-conscious times, should never have the kind of power they wield – let alone be seen wielding it.
Somehow, an unknown phenomenon in the year 1896 granted extraordinary ablities to a number of individuals, largely women and those on the fringes of society.
Like Marvel’s mutants and George RR Martin’s
Wild Cards, these “gifts” differ wildly from one person to the next, and sometimes they could hardly be regarded as such – bordering more on curses.
