Reverie

No one else has mentioned it so maybe a generational thing but it was the first thing I thought of. VR.5 was way ahead of it's time and was slow to pick up the pace, but this is a thinking persons program, no shoot outs, no car chases, it is supposed to make you think, and as a person who is more than a little leery of technology, this is right in my wheel house

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.

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 loved the Pilot episode and the theme, I enjoy my world but there are many including myself that does wish they could go back and be with loved ones and get some closure or change things. I've read the other reviews and respect their opinions, mine are I will be watching, only sorry Jim Caviezel wan't involved.
