It just feels like there is thirty percent too much plot and rabbit holes not connected to other plot lines. ... It is just a bit too weighted down. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 06/05/2021
The Nevers has a lot going for it but it's a distillation of Whedon's best and worst filmmaking impulses. It needs someone with a more disciplined eye to cut half of its many dangling threads and subplots. Go to Full Review Suzi Feay Financial Times 05/25/2021

If ladies fighting in their nighties is your thing, then fill your button boots. Go to Full Review Bree Fowler CNET 03/30/2023
I loved the kickass, funny, complicated characters and the fact that I just couldn't figure out who the real villains are. I keep looking for another show like this. So far, nada. Go to Full Review Therese Lacson The Beat 10/09/2021
[In] order to hold on to this show past just its one season, and in order for it to survive past the Joss Whedon shadow, it needs to make major changes. Go to Full Review Audrey Fox We Live Entertainment 08/23/2021
Truthfully, The Nevers has a lot to recommend it. But as a busy, frequently over-stuffed period sci-fi epic, it has an uphill battle ahead of it. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stewart P @Stewpilks Feb 13 It's a feast to the eyes but a bit of a scattered plot. It's ok to watch but really it's just xmen at its heart right down to Mrs Bidow in a wheelchair the same as Patrick Stewart. See more Kat D @Kat_D Feb 5 The plot mostly makes sense if you maintain a strong benefit of the doubt and work at your suspension of disbelief. The writers get a lot of historical and geographic details mixed up so you just need to pretend a lot of that stuff is part of the steampunk/fantasy element, I guess. The story itself seems to come secondary to The Message of tolerance and inclusion even when it doesn't make any sense with what they actually show you, especially in the 'future' scenes. Characters' personalities are inconsistent; they just behave however they need to for the plot to move along in that moment. It's all very silly and I can see why it got cancelled. On the other hand, the performances are excellent and it can be a fun watch provided you don't set your expectations high! See more J. Patrick W @Padryk Sep 10 An amazing show that was cancelled on a cliff-hanger because the producers are fools. See more pan m @Panmel Jun 23 Totally brilliant, funny and creative and imaginative and stunningly portrayed! Love it! And come on, next seasons! See more Joshua M @RT43979886 12/06/2024 Excellent show, epic fantasy adventure and very original. Please release the other episodes!!! See more Ellie R @RT32299075 11/11/2024 I could not get past the first 17 minutes. This was the most horrendous, incorrect, offensive depiction of autism, and Asperger‘s that I have ever seen on film. We are not naturally violent. We are not crazy. We do not require care in an asylum. There is no cure because there is nothing wrong with us. Our brains simply work in a different way. Did the production not speak to anyone with knowledge of autism? I realize the show is several years old and it is based in France, but this is not the 1700s. Absolutely offensive and disgusting and I refuse to watch another second See more Read all reviews
