As for who, and what, is Amalia True? Itâs just as convoluted. Sheâs not the person who we saw jump into the river in episode 1, but rather someone from that apocalyptic future who got put in the suicidal Mrs. Trueâs body by the alien, which is called a Galanthi, apparently. What the series fails to understand, is that some simplicity would have gone a long way here. If the Touched acquired their powers from a vague cosmic event (and not an alien from the future) and Amalia was a person who tried to take her own life but now found a new purpose in guiding others who were changed as she was, that wouldâve been more than enough to fuel the story. Whatâs more, the real Mrs. Trueâs tragic history is a very human one that we can understand, while this soldier from the future is much harder to connect with. The penultimate episode, âHanged,â ended with the streets of London flooded by an anti-Touched riot, started by Maladie (Amy Manson), and helped

The Nevers, at least for now while part two has not yet been scheduled, the six-episode run that concludes this evening is merely the first half the show’s first season. But while HBO may not be calling this a proper season finale, it sure seems like it’s got big finale energy. We’ve got an origin story for Amalia incoming! And just a guess we’re also likely to hear more about this big revelation, as described in Roxana’s recap of last Sunday’s installment (contains plot details, obviously):
