Inverso - The Peripheral

Literally just finished the first 2 episodes and it's quarter to six odd in the morning here in England and I have to say I loved it, well worth staying up for.

Chloe grace Moretz was brilliant, just like she is in most things.

Some other really good actors in this as well, especially Burton obviously (not going to lie, I don't know all their names yet) but good performances all round if I'm honest. CGI is brilliant too, so much so I got seriously freaked out (The eyeball) .

Good story and premise so far and I haven't read the book and I don't read forums about shows I'm watching, so no spoilers for me lol!

And if you're like me and want escapism from a show, like any successful show of the past 10 years has been, then this will work a treat!

I know it's only 2 episodes, so my review might change come the end of the series, but if you like Westworld you'll like this too (yes it's made by the same person, or something along those lines, not 100% sure) actually if you like sci-fi at all; this is worth watching.

Will definitely be carrying on with this!

8/10 so far but like I say that could change by the end of the series up or down...and I'm thinking up!

I just finished the first season of The Peripheral and it was so much better than I was expecting. I never read the books, or even heard of them for that matter, so I had no idea what the story was about. Chloe Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor are both great in their lead roles. This is a sci-fi series that's both original and exciting. The storytelling will keep you interested and make you actually care about what happens to these characters. You do have to pay attention because it could get a little complicated but not bad. The visuals are also great. You can tell they put some money into this show. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

Sometimes a series could not be a hit until the real story started to fold out. However, streaming services or channels should have enough vision to keep that show on air because some shows could make them proud to be in their collection.

Like Breaking Bad, until the third season finale, it was not a hit but when season 4 came, everyone was talking about breaking bad and that show give amc a lot of credit for their future work for viewers.

The peripheral was a good series, with very interesting story line, good visuals and with their cliffhangers.

Prime would be wise not to cancel this show since their collection is not strong, they do not have very big hits or more than a few critically acclaimed series. But they chose to cancel the show after one season. Of course the series was not perfect but still was better than most of the series that airing now.

Netflix also keeps making this mistake for sense 8, the oa.. etc.

As viewers, we are losing our trust in this streamer services to connect with any series, because we do not know if they will come back with a new season or it will be canceled with too many questions and unfinished mysteries.

I hope prime will not do that for the wheel of time.

I kept seeing previews for this show and decided to give it a try this evening. It was a pleasant surprise. The first episode was engaging, action packed, and fun. The second episode was not as good, but it's setting up the rest of the story. The premise is simple.....a VR/SIM player is trying out a new VR/SIM for money...or so they think. It's part spy, mystery and action along with sci-fi. Missing impossible meets quantum leap in a way. I really liked the first two episodes and will definitely keep watching. It's a very unique idea intermingled with a good story. Amazon has done good with the start of this show. It's worth a try.

After 59 years of reading, watching, and hearing about science fiction, I had long since given up on being surprised by anything new, apart from the latest Philip K Dick adaptations. Along the way, there have been more than a few productions which were obsolete within a few years, and an embarrassing number which were scientifically invalid from Day One (like the Matrix). In recent years, allegories have given way to preaching, CGI has replaced plot, and sequels, prequels, and spin-offs have diluted initial masterpieces to the point of insipidity. Competition from fantasy and comic book projects have blurred the line, and ludicrous virtue signaling from actors has created a tangible stench and ruined memories. So, now, this Gibson dude, who is utterly new to me, together with a group of truly talented people, has created an extraordinarily entertaining product with better continuity than has been seen in most of the major franchises for decades. But he has done much more than that. He has told a story.
