And that is just the trailer that promises more by flaunting the series's credentials: “From the mind-bending creators of Westworld” and “Based on the visionary novel by William Gibson.”įlynne Fisher (Chloe Grace Moretz) lives in the rural American South, working at the local 3D printing shop, while earning much needed extra money playing VR games for rich people. As dangerous as it is wondrous - with a faceless robot cab driver, a goth-like woman with a moving tattoo, a car cloaked in invisibility, a Michikoid robot serving sushi, a sonic blasting gun, and mysterious villains.

It just hasn’t happened yet.” Flynne soon learns just how real and thrilling this future world is. “You think this is a game, but it’s real. “You’re inside what we call a Peripheral,” Flynne is told by the beleaguered PR man Wilf Netherton ( Gary Carr) who reaches out to Flynne from the future. “Holy Sh*!” Flynn exclaims after trying on the headset, believing she’s just played a mind-blowing game. One day, Burton shows her a cyberpunk-inspired headset which he says is “the future.” When Flynne puts it on and shuts her eyes, she is transported to the dystopian London of the 22nd century, its streets and buildings sleek but empty, crumbling, and full of danger.

“Like it or not, this here’s the only world that I’ve got,” Flynne answers.įlynne’s small world includes her military veteran brother Burton who lives in a trailer park van.

“Your skills and personality are being sadly wasted in this den of imbecility,” says her co-worker. 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.The trailer begins with Flynne Fisher living in a small town where she works in a small 3D printing shop. 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. CGI is brilliant too, so much so I got seriously freaked out (The eyeball). 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. Chloe grace Moretz was brilliant, just like she is in most things. 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.
