This show doesn't need recognition since it has bad writing, bad acting, and bad influences. People like Joss Whedon shouldn't be getting money off of crap like this.

Joss Whedon is disgusting and this series just shows how desperate he has become.

I gave up after 4 episodes. The premise is interesting, and the action and effects are top notch, as you'd expect.
Unfortunately, between political messaging and a confusing salad of story lines, I just couldn't continue watching.

As far as Joss Whedon. I like his productions, but have not been a fan of him personally for a long time. If actors who can't get work want to talk trash about him for publicity, that's fine, but seeing a creative talent like him exit one of his own properties because of it is enough reason not to stick around.
I won't be back.… Expand

A cool concept, a good story as of now, though I'm left a little confused after episode one. The acting and action were pretty ok. I don't know if I'm a fan of futuristic tech in the victorian age, but we'll see later down the line.

Creature Cal is more interesting. This show has me so angry about its flaws and pure dumbness that I won't bother boring you with the ugliness of the show.

I watched the newest episodes, and each time I hated them. I don't get it. I heard some good things about it but apparently it is not for me, and seeing the hate for this show from other people on this site makes me feel that I am not alone.

I plain and simply didn't like it. I was bored and uninterested in the setting and characters.

A something I almost liked but then they started using magic and powers or whatever.

Ugh, I thought it was historical fiction. I won't ever watch it again.

The 10s are shills, and the 0s are people that trust Twitter charges without a shred of proof. Objectively this is Whedon trying to make amends for the gaslighting of his wife, for which there actually is proof. The premise for this show that only women were given powers to upset Government is nonsensical, as it requires a conscious mind and near-diety level powers to carry it out. Bad CGI when used, the amazing level of impossible tech yet none of the non-cast members seems to care about it when it is used right in front of them. Not to mention the Government that recognizes the special exist, but will not utilize them, just calls them a threat. Relatively small women (in muscle mass) slapping around men twice their size (literally slapping at times) destroys immersion. When they then pull something Batman would say no to, you shut it off and spend your time more wisely. Implausible, woke, and pushing the false narritive that the world is in a war of patriarchy vs feminism. These are the reasons it fails, not the claims of ex-actresses with 20+ year old grievenances that were taken to Twitter like so many before them which usually turn out to be falsehoods to generate attention and pity. Real claims go to lawyers and the police, even Amber Heard took her lies there as she knew that Twitter claims are completely untrustworthy.… Expand

All white men are bad, stupid or cowards all women are stronger and better than men. Just another series that may have been good but for making it all about gender, which seems to be the go to nowadays created by creepy feminist males

Joss Whedon is a misogynist ass. On behalf of the hundreds of cast and crew who *aren't* misogynist asses, however, The Nevers is worth checking out.

I really wanted to like this show, and I'm going to continue to watch it while holding on to hope that it will improve at some point. The premise of The Nevers is intriguing, the set design/ costumes etc are good. But something went terribly wrong with the rest of the show's production. Many scenes are just... clumsy? I'm not sure how else to describe it. I'm not sure if it's a case of bad directing, bad writing, or bad acting. But I'm leaning towards the first two. There's worse TV on HBO probably, but The Nevers is just not good.

Commenting again to update after the first six episodes. The midseason finale may be enough to redeem this show, changing from a 6 to a hopeful 7. Hopefully the second half will continue to improve!… Expand

Criticize Joss Whedon not the show. I thought that the world was better than this. This is a pretty solid show. Reviewbombing never works.

I would've given this a 8 or 9,but the ten is to balance it out.

Another great tv-series from Joss Whedon. Interesting story, cool cast and very good visuals. After all this Justice League thing people forgot that Whedon is really great creator, and I hope this show will remind them about it

I believe this show has potential. The concept is cool, and the acting of the main two characters are good. I'm intrigued, but there is room for improval.
