There's a lot of fun to be had with The Nevers, but it's still an untidy fiasco with a steampunk elephant lurking in the wings.

The world-building, at least, is extensive, and it's possible later episodes might benefit from having carved out so much narrative real estate, so many competing interests. But these early episodes are crowded.

There is a lot going on in The Nevers. The only thing it seems to lack is a point.

Lively and chaotic.

There are a lot of other shows more worthy of investing your time in.

"The Nevers'" inconsistencies can make for a maddening viewing experience - sending you from the edge of your seat to sprawled out on the floor, trying to find your eyes after they rolled out of your head... But I'd be lying if I said I'm done.

When I finished watching, there were no characters I felt drawn to, or provoked by. I took in all the excess and atmosphere, all the flippant banter and brutal fighting, and I was left untouched.

It would fit a tidy narrative if The Nevers was terrible ... but it's not. The rollicking pilot, which Whedon wrote and directed, is the most unexpectedly entertaining, hour-long TV joyride so far this year.

It is, indeed, steampunk Buffy with corsets -- and for several reasons, that's no longer an enticing concept.
April 09, 2021
The visuals dazzle and the action scenes thrill on a show that's part X-Men and part Doctor Who.

You don't need Amalia's gift of foresight to see how transformative this could be, transcending Whedon's tired formula to create something bolder and more current, something less derivative of the many stories like this that have come before.

The Nevers doesn't want for narrative, but it feels like Whedon throwing all the Buffy-lite ideas he had together ... and hoping some of it would gel.
