This is the first review that I have written. The reason that I don't write reviews is that the reviews on IMDB typically align with my opinions.
In this case, the 6.3 rating, currently, is so far off that I felt that I should comment on it.
The storyline: Develops slowly (and isn't fully developed by the end of the first episode) but is interesting enough to keep you wondering where it will lead.
The characters: Great young actors that are easy to relate to (except for the roomate - "the jury is definitely out" on him). They draw you into their characters quickly.
The editing: The movement between the VR and real world is seamless and is consistent with the storyline throughout.
I left this on my DVR for a few weeks after seeing the reviews and rating here (I only watched it on a whim) ... I was very pleasantly surprised.
