The Nevers had so much potential. It's going to be another one of those shows that people complain about for years.

I was gonna say, The Nevers hurt. Say about Joss Whedon what you will, he does create interesting television worlds even when they flawed and with some of his favorite tropes.

I absolutely LOVED The Nevers, especially because of Penance and Amalia. I still have hopes that they'll release the 2nd half of the first season (now the series itself), but honestly, fuck HBO.

I enjoyed The Nevers so much but assumed that I simply missed out on the announcement of when more episodes were released. Really bummed that the second "half" of the season was still in limbo.

I really enjoyed Laura Donnelly on The Nevers and I’m glad she got to play Elsa Bloodstone in Werewolf by Night

She plays a similar character in Brittania, I think she’ll do well

Apparently, the plan is to release the last 6 episodes on a FAST network; however, without Whedon, I don't have high expectations for the quality.

Whedon was not involved beyond the pilot. So, if you enjoyed what came out I would expect the same for the second half, if it ever happens.

He was the showrunner. He wrote and directed multiple episodes.

The Nevers was DOA. Joss Whedon was radioactive before the premiere, when all the drama regarding Justice League was coming out. Then he went and doubled down on his woe-is-me schtick 8 months after the premiere, and no one was buying the bs he peddled, so there's no chance WB would have picked it up again, even without Zaslav's axe of destruction carving a path through programming.

I think the marketing killed it. The pushed hard on the "woke" women have super powers in victorian angle and that made it seem really one dimensional. Also after the initial marketing push I never heard another thing about it. These day you have to keep your show in front of people until it gets a built in fan base. Then you can just hit it up when a new season is coming.
