	Author	Review
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"[It] is engaging even as it leans heavily on Whedon's go-to tropes (...) Even when it errs towards the silly, it’s fun and twisty enough"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"A generous take on 'The Nevers' is that it's a fin de siècle 'X-Men', or maybe a Victorian 'Watchmen'. A less generous take is that it's a more expensive version of Fox's 'The Gifted', one made without any clear understanding of hour-long cable narrative rhythm, structure or momentum"	NEU
United States	Lorraine Ali Los Angeles Times	"[It] goes wide on genre appeal, while homing in on painfully contemporary themes. And it’s full of riddles designed to keep us hooked."	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[It] feels like a Joss Whedon show, for good and for ill, with most of the downside that comes from his work and only occasional glimmers of what made him beloved (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Joshua Rivera Polygon	"A dull retread of the embattled creator’s greatest hits (...) Astonishingly pedestrian"	NEG
United States	Liz Shannon Miller Collider	"The action is full of inventive touches, the dialogue confident in its wit, and the largely unknown cast is packed with powerhouses and charmers. But the reliance on old Whedon go-tos (...) is disappointing to witness"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Equally incomprehensible and enlivening (...) [It] isn't exactly good, but offers glimmers of a good time."	NEU
Canada	Cynthia Vinney CBR	"An engrossing, sometimes frustrating riff on the 'X-Men' (...) [It] tells a sprawling, often promising story, but it also introduces too many mysteries and provides too few answers."	NEU
