Jessica is convinced by Silicon Valley's Michael Burke to submit a script for a virtual reality called killing at Hastings' rock, the game is glitchy and flawed, but Jessica tries to help find a solution, Burke is hampered by code developer James Lindstrom.
1993, a time of floppy hair, floppy discs, 2unlimited and the early years of Virtual Reality. A time where Murder, she wrote was probably still appealing to a more mature audience, I wonder if this one was devised to target, more specifically the younger viewers.
Sure, it's dated by today's standards, it looks pretty dull, and even for 1993, it seems a little underdeveloped, but the characters and mystery itself are actually really rather good.
James Lindstrom, quite the visionary, he'd have loved the way things are heading in terms of Artificial Intelligence, some incredible, but terrifying developments.
There are a few irritating scenes, that moment where Jessica guesses a password in about thirty seconds is enough to make you chuckle. I'm not totally convinced Jessica would have signed up to a game, she went nuts when her book was used for a film.
8/10.
