    I turned it off in twenty minutes. Because the main characters:
    1. scoff at the invocation of supernatural influences from others while manifesting supernatural abilities themselves.
    2. Are in possession of technology which could save untold millions but run an orphanage. 3. Fight like ninjas. This show is flat too stupid for me. I give it two points for production value.

    There is some confusion as to why we justifiable individuals dislike this show; it's because it's bad.

    Disappointing and badly written with some really odd casting - never say never, unless it's about watching The Nevers - 1 star

    The Nevers plays out like the laziest, most scattered, self-congratulatory faux-progressive tripe that a white man could possibly write. Here, we have more than enough evidence to argue that Joss Whedon should never be allowed near a script or camera or actor again.

    That the many characters and interwoven stories didn’t become confusing was a triumph, and the moments where touched “turns” were displayed were subtle enough not to distract from the main narrative. Skilful, too, were the understated social messages that still ring as true today as they did in the Victorian era – women with unchecked power are a threat to the status quo and abnormality is to be feared.

    If you can keep track of who’s who and what’s what amid the confusion and the corsets, there’s a lot of fun in the adventures of these extraordinary women.

    The enthusiasm comes at the expense of developing any of the characters beyond their immediate impact. The dynamic between the two leads is promising. Despite their advantages, they must still put up with being young women in a male-dominated world. But the relationship is hardly given space to breathe amid all the plotting and exposition.
