This is what happens in the world of television on Sunday 11 April. All times are Oriental.


Top choices

The Nevers (HBO, 9pm, 10th season finale): ‘HBOs The Nevers takes place in 1899, a few years after a supernatural event drowns out certain young women with extraordinary abilities. Those affected are known as ‘The Touched’, who are anything but accepted by Victorian society, and therefore form their own gang to protect themselves from zealots and murderers. Penance Adair (Ann Skelly) is one of the first of the Nevers, whose allies Amalia True (Laura Donnelly), a ‘quick widow’, with a penchant for alcohol, and Lavinia Bidlow (Poppekas’s Olivia Williams), a wealthy spinster who runs The Orphanage which houses many of these gifted individuals. ” Read the rest of Danette Chavez’s thoughts in our April TV preview, read more the departure of creator Joss Whedon and on the next showrunner, and watch Roxana summarize Hadadi’s premiere.
