Roush Review: Shallow Escapism Aboard the ‘Nautilus’
- The TV series Nautilus, an origin story of Captain Nemo, premiered its first two episodes on June 29 on AMC and AMC Plus.

- Nautilus presents a blend of historical and fantastical elements with mixed reception about pacing and special effects, and its narrative suggests limited chances for a second season.
