The Nevers (2021)

Watchseries; This series is hard to categorise. Kind of fantasy, science fiction, with some semi-lame X-men type super powers thrown in. It's set in Victorian times, add some graphic violence, a touch of profanity, and a huge dose of humour. Classic Joss Whedon. I am bewildered by the negative reviews, and definitely refute the accusations of poor acting. If you don't enjoy this, you should probably be watching The Fast and the Furious 12, or 13, whatever the latest action abomination Hollywood has vomited up.

The Nevers watchseries. This show is fabulous! The story... rich. The costumes... BRILLIANT! Be prepared to fall in love with Penance Adair and wholly wish to shelter her from all cruelty the world has to offer. I love this show. My life now is just wishing it were Sunday.

And the fact that it's headed up by Laura Donnelly just makes it all the better. She was awesome in Outlander, now she's awesome in this.

What a fascinating idea for a show. Interesting powers too. I can't wait to see what happens next. Please renew this for another season.

This show is amazing! The characters have gradient and depth and they're really interesting and I can't wait to learn more about them! The fight scenes are great and the set and costumes are top-notch. It's pretty bingeable so it's hard for me to wait every week for a new episode but the standalone episodes are pretty fun to watch as well.

You almost don't even notice they're women. They're just well-created characters and not some cliched tough-chick trope you see in many other movies and shows. They're tough but they're also weak. They fight for good but they also have flaws. The male characters are pretty colorful, too, and I can tell they will play a big part in the story, especially the bird guy.

Such a vivid and imaginative world full of fun, fights and adventures. I swear if this show gets cancelled I'm literally going to kill myself.

Quirky and rife with mystery (based on the 1st episode), it drew me in. Fine performances by all the leads; lots of fun details and invention. I'll be watching more. And BTW, could someone please tell the reviewer who rated it "1" that this is a steampunk-infused fantasy/SF series? It's no more a rewrite of Victorian history than "Lovecraft Country" was a rewrite of American race relations in the 1950s, or "Penny Dreadful" an historical documentary about this same era.

I was on the fence for the first episode but it quickly won me over. The finale was alright. Interesting idea, not totally sure what that looks like for season 2, if it gets renewed. Whedon has been outed for pretty deplorable behaviour, who knows what that means.

As is though, the Victorian super hero and Other narrative feels like it's well done. Clearly a lot of good casting and a pool of good writers to pull off something that's a bit tropey yet also niche and weird. I like having this in tandem with all the nihilistic "realistic" super hero shows lately. These questions are more interesting, imo.
