More Critic Reviews for Neverland Season 1 All Critics (14) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (6) It's packed with action, much of it violent, and even more packed with special effects. Dec 12, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… David Hinckley New York Daily News Top Critic There are some nice moments, but it should be much shorter. Dec 12, 2011 | Full Review… Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times Top Critic Oh, well, it makes for a mildly enjoyable story and it's probably best not to overthink things. Dec 12, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review… David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle Top Critic What a thudding, literal-minded bore it is. Dec 12, 2011 | Full Review… Mike Hale New York Times Top Critic As constructed, it amounts to a Peter Pan prequel lacquered up with a revisionist space-age paint job. Dec 12, 2011 | Full Review… Brian Lowry Variety Top Critic It's bad storytelling clothed in good storytelling, and there's something horrible about that, about using other's work to prop up your own vague, clumsy attempts at world-building. Dec 4, 2011 | Rating: D+ | Full Review… Zack Handlen AV Club Top Critic Just make sure you see it. Dec 12, 2011 | Rating: A | Full Review… Diane Werts Newsday Top Critic By pulling the curtain back on the magic of Neverland, Willing has stripped all the fun from a marvelous classic. Dec 12, 2011 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review… Curt Wagner RedEye As Neverland unfortunately shows throughout, when you spend all your time and energy explaining how the trick works, there's precious little left to entertain the audience. Dec 12, 2011 | Rating: C- | Full Review… Alan Sepinwall HitFix If you yearn for the days of high-quality, big-budget, fantasy miniseries, skip Syfy's Neverland. Dec 12, 2011 | Full Review… Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Syfy's miniseries Neverland doesn't end up having much of a point, but the cribbed elements from other popular fantasy TV series, movies, and books are mixed together in an entertaining way, which makes the enterprise definitely watchable. Dec 12, 2011 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Matt Springer Common Sense Media Adds clever new twists to the origin story of Peter Pan and Captain Hook while remaining unpretentiously faithful to the adventurous spirit of the original. Dec 12, 2011 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Guide View All Critic Reviews (14) Audience Reviews for Neverland: Season 1 Aug 25, 2016 Worst adaptation I've ever seen. Bruno S Jan 08, 2016 Uma que outra ideia interessante, mas uma bagunça geral com um elenco bem toscão tirando o Rhys Ifans. Guilherme J Oct 14, 2015 Peter and James Hook start out as friends in this as well; just like in Pan. Sadly though; this made for SyFy mini-series is much better than Pan. Just like Pan, Neverland is a prequel. It actually casts Indians as the tribe in Neverland, James Hook slowly turns bad and Peter meets Tinkerbell. There you go; three things the Pan film is missing. Stay home and watch Neverland. James W Jun 05, 2014 Too compressed and often in a hurry, 'Neverland' is never boring, but it squanders its great cast and premise with indecisive, clunky storytelling and a lack of charm or humour. And the mediocre action and lax CGI don't exactly help matters either. Abel D Nov 24, 2013 While it does tweak the Peter Pan mythology a bit, this is still an interesting alternative take on the origins of the character. The one problem I had with this is that the fairies are borderline uncanny valley and not magical enough.
