I’m touched by ‘The Nevers’ | Faith Matters

There’s something about “The Nevers,” HBO’s new sci-fi, historical, whodunit, even spiritual, drama that’s an allegory for what the U.S. is going through today.
It’s set in Victorian England in the last year of the 19th century, when there was enormous change in society. The Industrial Revolution was underway, electricity was invented, and psychology was the rage.
Three years earlier, a strange, light-infused cruciform floated in the sky, dropping small balls of light that seemed to land on people, thus making them “touched.” They now have unique, special powers called “a turn.”
The Nevers, the period fantasy series airing now on HBO, the battle of good versus evil plays out on an epic scale, but for Hugo Swan it’s a more internal affair.
The series’ resident roué is seemingly at odds with himself; at times leaning into his wealth and privilege, at others attempting to outrun it. He’s also one of the few people of his class who seems comfortable around “the Touched,” the characters on the show endowed with supernatural abilities most likely because he runs an underground nightclub where a number of them work. He’s charismatic, complicated, and at times contemptible and nearly impossible to ignore.

TV Series Review
In 1896, during the last years of Queen Victoria’s reign, something odd happened in the sky; a flash of light and an eerie stillness came over England. Some believe it was just a cosmic blip weird, but nothing too worrisome. Others believe it to be a supernatural occurrence. Still others attempt to ignore it all together.
