Kicking butt in corsets and slaying with parasols, Victorian sci-fi drama âThe Neversâ arrives under, or at least alongside, a cloud: Creator Joss Whedon, who left the series in November citing exhaustion, has been the subject of multiple allegations since last summer of creating an abusive work environment on other projects, including by âJustice Leagueâsâ Ray Fisher and âBuffy the Vampire Slayerâsâ Charisma Carpenter and Michelle Trachtenberg.
But if this meant HBO faced an even taller order turning its ambitious new series, now helmed by showrunner Philippa Goslett, into a worthy successor to âTrue Blood,â âGame of Thronesâ and âWatchmen,â itâs one the cable giant has surmounted. Premiering Sunday, âThe Neversâ ably continues the networkâs tradition of making fantasy and sci-fi a prestigious television pursuit, this time in the splendor and grit of 1899 London.

Kicking butt in corsets and slaying with parasols, Victorian sci-fi drama “The Nevers” arrives under, or at least alongside, a cloud: Creator Joss Whedon, who left the series in November citing exhaustion, has been the subject of multiple allegations since last summer of creating an abusive work environment on other projects, including by “Justice League’s” Ray Fisher and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s” Charisma Carpenter and Michelle Trachtenberg.
But if this meant HBO faced an even taller order turning its ambitious new series, now helmed by showrunner Philippa Goslett, into a worthy successor to “True Blood,” “Game of Thrones” and “Watchmen,” it’s one the cable giant has surmounted. Premiering Sunday, “The Nevers” ably continues the network’s tradition of making fantasy and sci-fi a prestigious television pursuit, this time in the splendor and grit of 1899 London.

Schitt’s Creek
For ages, I didn’t “get” Schitt’s Creek. I couldn’t understand why everyone and their mother was fawning all over it. Then in lockdown, I gave it a good chance and I fell madly, wildly in love. One of the best parts? How nobody makes a big deal about David being pansexual.
He likes girls, he prefers guys, and that’s just how it is. But it’s his relationship with Patrick that’s truly amazing – the most naturally depicted gay relationship I’ve ever seen on screen – and hilarious, too.
