The Nevers is a six-part HBO fantasy series that’s been dubbed “The Magicians meets Bridgerton” by Refinery29.
In the last years of Victoria’s reign, London is beset by the Touched: people – mostly women – who suddenly manifest abnormal abilities – some charming, some disturbing.
Among them are Amalia True (Laura Donnelly from Outlander), a mysterious, quick-fisted widow, and Penance Adair (Ann Skelly from Vikings), a brilliant young inventor. They are the champions of this new underclass, making a home for the Touched, while fighting the forces of… well, pretty much all the forces – to make room for those whom history as we know it has no place.

A jet back tale about what women have to do to make it in a man s world, Deadly Cuts is the funniest Irish film in years.
From Derry Girls to The Snapper, many writers have tried to capture the authentic voices of the Irish working class with mixed results.
Too often they come across as giant parodies of themselves, played up and played down for international audiences and their more genteel sensibilities.
That s not the case in director and writer Rachel Carey s Deadly Cuts. Set in the fictitious northside Dublin suburb of Piglinstown (get it) there s a straight from life quality to the banter in this hilarious film about the rewards of female friendship and empowerment.
Exclusive: Jessica Ennis-Hill - Why we need to talk about periods
From elite athletes to fun runners, what women can learn about the power of tuning into their menstrual cycle

Jessica Ennis-Hill says when she was competing periods just weren’t talked about, and that that is mind boggling looking back
It still blows my mind, looking back. As an elite athlete I thought I knew my body completely. I trained and competed for the best part of 20 years with a team of amazing experts around me. But the one aspect I never really thought about was my menstrual cycle. Throughout my career it was something that happened in the background, there was never really any conversation about how it would affect my training, my mood, or how my body might fluctuate throughout the month.
