The Peripheral

This is one of my all-time favourite series, I hate that Amazon cancelled this show. I still do not understand their reasoning for cancelling this show, I believe it would have become a cult franchise, if it had been given the chance.

Hey AMAZON, It's not too late to change that and do season 2. I know this thing was popular, look at the awards for quality it was given. This is my vote as a consumer and Prime Subscriber.

The show has mystery, intrigue, and action, with enough Science Fiction to make it super interesting. An easy to follow story line, and some nasty protagonists to make our current-day heroes real heroes.

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.

After 59 years of reading, watching, and hearing about science fiction, I had long since given up on being surprised by anything new, apart from the latest Philip K Dick adaptations. Along the way, there have been more than a few productions which were obsolete within a few years, and an embarrassing number which were scientifically invalid from Day One (like the Matrix). In recent years, allegories have given way to preaching, CGI has replaced plot, and sequels, prequels, and spin-offs have diluted initial masterpieces to the point of insipidity. Competition from fantasy and comic book projects have blurred the line, and ludicrous virtue signaling from actors has created a tangible stench and ruined memories. So, now, this Gibson dude, who is utterly new to me, together with a group of truly talented people, has created an extraordinarily entertaining product with better continuity than has been seen in most of the major franchises for decades. But he has done much more than that. He has told a story.

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!

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.
