The Nevers
Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2021 2:54 am
A Victorian London based sci-fi Joss Wedon project on HBO.
An event (shown at the end of episode 1 in a stunning bit of CGI) embues some people with special abilities. Those afflicted are persecuted, kidnapped, and seen as lower class persons.
The feel is a mix of Penny Dreadful, Sherlock Holmes, Carnival Row, and Marvel...all peppered with Wedon-ese quick smart dialogue and stock characters seen in his other projects.
Wedon left the show midway through production, so the first six episodes are his, while the remainder are helmed by others.
Intriguing enough to watch again, though it could become weighed down by subplots and subterfuge easily.
