also, The Never reviews are out, are meh to bad, and HBO is really trying to hide Whedon's involvement

HBO's #TheNevers should have been Joss Whedon's triumphant return to television. Instead, it's very messy, for both creative reasons and an accumulation of real-world allegations against its creator. My review: https://t.co/ywV8ECYpUk pic.twitter.com/QvDgTQNUgP

A recent HBO press release about the show runs through nearly 600 words, and the mention of 19 other people involved, before Whedon’s name appears, and only in the context of having written and directed the premiere. (He also directed two more out of the initial batch of six episodes.)

God fuck Joss.

Props to Ray for not backing down and telling the story like it happened over and over.

he's not the best director, but his casts all seem to adore him

Yeah I think his scripts can be lacking but I think he’s a great visual director.
