'The Nevers' assembles an X-Men-esque series in Joss Whedon's Victorian England

5 years 5 months ago
Setting aside the backstage drama involving series creator Joss Whedon, "The Nevers" begins with an intriguing premise and develops it in such a plodding way that interest progressively fades with each successive hour.
