Watched ep. 1 tonight. An event occurs in late 1800’s London...ff 3 years and some, mostly women, have been affected giving them special powers. One is running an “orphanage” and is bringing as many of these women under one roof. The first episode does a lot of exposition, introducing the cast of characters and potential villains, tho it’s not clear yet where it’s going. Steampunk gadgetry, ladies fighting in their knickers. Writing was better than I expected tho this feels like X-men, or Heroes, or Umbrella Academy territory. Nick Frost is good as the Beggar King.
