Not necessarily as powerful or shocking as last weekās episode, UNDERTAKING is still āNeverātheless an entertaining hour of television that reveals more shocking twists and āTurnsā to advance a story thatās slowly getting peeled back layer after layer every week.
In some sense, itās a bit ridiculous to see folks frustrated with questions being posed when shows like WANDAVISION did the same thing to rave reviews. Between the two, Iāll say the answers come faster in THE NEVERS, and with two episodes left, itās been fun to get clues in every episode. Iām less frustrated by the mystery because the information theyāre giving us each week is more substantial.
UNDERTAKING definitely sets up a lot of questions while also revealing more about the woman at the heart of the series, Amalia True. Itās once more an exercise in showing not telling, but given that the characters on the show are getting just as eager for answers as the audience, you know the answers are coming soon because the narrative depends on it. It just doesnāt have to be tonight. And thatās okay.
The show takes a bit of a beat from an action point of view this week, but still manages to pepper in the wit and quirky humor, as driven by a cast with impeccable delivery in terms of dialogue and humor.
In any case, not a bad episode. Lots of interesting reveals. And looking forward to the final two episodes coming in the next couple of weeks.
Episode 4 of THE NEVERS is now on HBO Max.
