Chief of things to like aboutRenegade Nells cast is Nell herself.

Harland excels in a demanding role as the sun around which everything else orbits.

Like sunshine, she improves everything just by being there and you miss her when shes gone.

Nell, you think, would be a good person to have on your side.

Definitelynoton Nells side is Adrian Lesters sinister Earl of Poynton and aristo siblings Thomas Blancheford and Sofia Wilmot.
