    Summary

    Reviewers say 'The Peripheral' captivates with its premise and special effects, highlighting the visual aspects and futuristic setting. Lead actors' performances are praised, yet the show faces criticism for convoluted plotlines, slow pacing, and excessive dialogue. Some find characters underdeveloped and the story difficult to follow. Viewer frustration is noted over the show's cancellation despite positive reception, which erodes trust in streaming services.

    it is shame that the show cancelled

    Sometimes a series could not be a hit until the real story started to fold out. However, streaming services or channels should have enough vision to keep that show on air because some shows could make them proud to be in their collection.

    Like Breaking Bad, until the third season finale, it was not a hit but when season 4 came, everyone was talking about breaking bad and that show give amc a lot of credit for their future work for viewers.

    The peripheral was a good series, with very interesting story line, good visuals and with their cliffhangers.

    Prime would be wise not to cancel this show since their collection is not strong, they do not have very big hits or more than a few critically acclaimed series. But they chose to cancel the show after one season. Of course the series was not perfect but still was better than most of the series that airing now.

    Netflix also keeps making this mistake for sense 8, the oa.. etc.

    As viewers, we are losing our trust in this streamer services to connect with any series, because we do not know if they will come back with a new season or it will be canceled with too many questions and unfinished mysteries.

    I hope prime will not do that for the wheel of time.

    Solid Sci-fi Series!

    I just finished the first season of The Peripheral and it was so much better than I was expecting. I never read the books, or even heard of them for that matter, so I had no idea what the story was about. Chloe Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor are both great in their lead roles. This is a sci-fi series that's both original and exciting. The storytelling will keep you interested and make you actually care about what happens to these characters. You do have to pay attention because it could get a little complicated but not bad. The visuals are also great. You can tell they put some money into this show. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

    Pleasant Surprise First Two Episodes

    I kept seeing previews for this show and decided to give it a try this evening. It was a pleasant surprise. The first episode was engaging, action packed, and fun. The second episode was not as good, but it's setting up the rest of the story. The premise is simple.....a VR/SIM player is trying out a new VR/SIM for money...or so they think. It's part spy, mystery and action along with sci-fi. Missing impossible meets quantum leap in a way. I really liked the first two episodes and will definitely keep watching. It's a very unique idea intermingled with a good story. Amazon has done good with the start of this show. It's worth a try.

    BRING THIS SHOW BACK PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This was such a cool, amazing show with fantastic performances and acting HIGHLY recommend watching and again, PLEASE REBOOT AND BRING THIS SHOW BACK!!!!!!😁 Chloë Grace Moretz and Jack Reynor bring the next level of acting in this futuristic time series. I was sooooo impressed on how much work they put into the sets, locations, the "haptics" from all the special forces soldiers (which were definitely a squad) because you'll see how tight they are and how they use special tactics and equipment and are all in sync. I have no idea why they only released 1 season I immediately watched it again when I finished it!

    Ends On A HUGE Cliffhanger..

    I wish someone would have mentioned it here (unless it's several more reviews away) that yes, it is good but that cliffhanger is HUGE like I said. It's a good show, but if I knew the way it ended AND that it was Canceled, I wouldn't have gotten immersed in it at all. That really is unfortunate. I know that a lot of good shows get canceled, and bad ones thrive for years and years. I still would want to know. It's a good show like I said and it has a lot of cool effects, some great characters, some horrible scenes (poor dog) and so on. If you don't mind stories not wrapped up then watch it. I think I need to buy the book (or books) and find out that way which I hope to make time for.
