(HBO, 9 p.m., finale for part one of season one): Tonight, Roxana Hadadi will bid farewell to the Orphans of
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):

As Hugo Swann, Norton is debonair, outrageous and a lot of fun – but in real life, the actor says he’d be more likely to be on the side of the “Touched,” even if his dream superpower wouldn’t be much use outside of a kitchen.

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.”
