The Nevers

This is a superb supernatural drama. Well acted, great characters and superbly produced. Well worth a watch, so you can make up your own minds . I hoping its found its audience and gets a 2nd season. Love it.

Watched the 2 first episodes and I'm hooked. It has a nice ring of Carnival Row meets the X-men with some thriller suspense. I love how they play with the abilities certain characters has, which is not the typical over-powered "I can bend metal with my mind"-kind of deal but rather more subtle. Great casting, FX and can't wait for the next episodes.

And btw critics, when you say it's "messy" without any valid examples of why you think so then I wonder how you felt about the first season of the Witcher. Which was amazing with a crazy messy plot structure that could only be explained by people who knows about the story beforehand.

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.

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.

Like s Victorian X-Men meets Penny Dreadful.

I absolutely love it. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
