The Nevers: Riley is extremely endearing as Augie The Nevers begins broadcast in the UK on Sky Atlantic tonight. All episodes are available to watch now. The cast are superb across the board.

She’s also terrific in the action scenes and has extremely expressive eyes, bringing a strong undercurrent of emotion to every scene. She’s matched by Skelly, who generates strong chemistry with her co-star and brings a lot of warmth and heart to Penance – her awkward flirtations with Riley’s character are ridiculously charming.The supporting cast are equally terrific.

There are also colourful smaller turns from the likes of Nick Frost (as underworld boss the Beggar King), Dennis O'Hare (as a creepy doctor) and Rochelle Neil, who steals every scene as super-stylish flame-thrower Bonfire Annie… -- source link
