Reverie

First....it's a great plot and concept, whether it's based upon 'The Cell' or not and it's clearly well cast, specifically utilizing a very under-rated actress Sarah Shahi.

I'm a sci-fi geek to begin with and find myself struggling to watch most series and movies of that genre because of poorly conceived plots and assemblence of poorly casted actors/actresses out of their elements. Yet this one has all the special effects, characters/personalities that mesh, believable and well-conceived story-lines, etc....and comes close to really pulling off a great series.

I think NBC has a winner here and look forward to this show developing and growing into the potential it has....it'll be interesting to see how they can keep the underlining concern and issues of the main character, who has some deeply set issues of her own to deal with outside of her admirable instinct to preserve the lives of others first.

Keep each story fresh and explore how such a world came to be.

I have watched a few episodes and know this is a very promising show...however the pace is very slow and you must really get into it to appreciate it. The slow pace I feel lulls a viewer to almost boredom, I realize what the show is pushing, but we all know that Sarah Shahi was seen as an action type person as well. Just once in a while during Reverie and her battles with others, it would be nice to show her bad ass side again, then the nice side...The viewers then would anticipate her one side or another show up to take care of the people she is helping....Kind of a "giftedsuperwoman" , type person that no one can mess with, but also have a tender and caring side as well. Pick up the pace writers or this show, although really good will not keep the interest of the viewers much longer. This will please the viewers that like a little of both caring and action type personalities. Sarah Shahi has as huge following and then she was gone for awhile. People only really remember her on POA and her role on that show...She has always had the looks and that is a plus, but many like myself will be checking out her new role and trying to adjust to her new "calm" role.

Having now seen 3 episodes the only conclusion one can draw is that this series is nothing but a filler without development to make it interesting. It's just a show within a show, where the negotiator has only one task: to convince the participant in Reverie to get out as he is wanted back at home in the real world.

The production is good but the stories are not worth watching. I am exiting from Reverie too . . .

This pilot episode takes me back to the movie "Dreamscape" which depicts a near future (1980s era) where psychic individuals from a government funded agency can enter people's dreams. While visiting people's dreams and changing their outcomes (to help their waking lives) they discover a conspiracy. Some other agency is also entering people's dreams.
