Reverie

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 . . .

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.

Shockingly good casting on the lead, Shahi, who demonstrates a versatility here that one couldn't have imagined from her time on PoI. The sci-fi choose-your-own-virtual-reality theme is inriguing and the visuals are stunning. There are some unlikable characters, a few predictable plot points, and I already fear an episodic save of the week feel (which I hope the producers/writers can overcome), but I want to see more of other people's dream worlds! Is there drama to this? Sure. But it's incorrectly categorized, though I've tried to add sci-fi to the genre on IMDB. Leaving the main genre out of this show's IMDB page and marketing is an absurd tactical error. Marketing hacks must have gotten stuck in their own reveries, and phoned this in, bc there should be a lot more hype online for this premise and pilot.

What if we could go back and correct our mistakes? What if we could prolong our happiness forever, or re-visit whenever we needed a boost?

Like Westworld, this show is about fantasy. To create a fantasy around ourselves, and the pitfalls inherent.

Sarah Shahi plays a role very different from the assassin in Person Of Interest. Does well in the first episode.

The narrative is slick, the CGI is convincing and the storyline requires empathy.

The only negative is the quick and easy way that the problem was resolved in Episode One.

That said, the show has promise, and I do hope that it will remain interesting.

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.
