"The Nevers" on HBO
2021-May-19, Wednesday 10:15 pmI'm still working on gardening. I still have some seedlings that need to be planted. Progress, though.
Meanwhile, I thought I'd comment on something I've watched on HBO Max recently. It's only 6 episodes in the first half of season 1, barely anything, but I suppose that's a large production schedule for so many people on set during lockdown. This summary comes mostly from that 6th episode of "The Nevers". It hardly counts as spoilers so early in a story, but this is your warning if you care about that sort of thing.
The first 5 episodes are interesting enough in their own right. They are set in 1890s London with some people getting special powers under mysterious circumstances. The established society begins to fear and oppress them. Sort of an early X-Men mutant theme, but mostly women, and they are called the Touched. Sort of like that, anyway.
And then there is episode 6. ( Read the spoilers... )
The podcast about episode 6 followed the same reaction as I experienced. Confusion followed eventually by revelation. I'm intrigued. I'm looking forward to the next set of episodes for season 1.
