The Nevers review: cynical attempt at steampunk cool

Several potent modern phenomena have cross-pollinated to create this lavish, messy fantasy series. Few individuals have stamped their own style and taste on English-language pop culture so deeply as the creator and original showrunner of The Nevers, Joss Whedon, here once again dispensing the sort of clever-clever gags and cartoonified violence that helped to make his previous shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1996-2003), Angel (1999-2004) and Firefly (2002-03) some of the most beloved, analysed and imitated television of all time.

A Space in Time review: living with Duchenne dystrophy

A Space in Time is In cinemas and streaming via bohemiamedia.co.uk from 17 May. Nick Taussig and his wife Klara, an artist, were blindsided five years ago when their toddler sons Theodor and Oskar were diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and at first the couple felt as if their universe was collapsing. A Space in Time, directed by Nick (a producer whose notable credits include the 2018 documentary biopic McQueen and Andrew Kötting’s Lek and the Dogs, 2017) and Riccardo Servini, tells how the family have carried out the slow and demanding day-to-day work of adapting their world. They hired architects to create a purpose-built home, and have revolutionised their own preconceived ideas about what constitutes a well-lived life. Intimate and candid, this awareness-raising documentary does not skirt around the tough realities of Duchenne or fall back on easy sentiment, as it shows that disability need not be synonymous with tragedy.
