Season 1 Review:
Suffice to say that it is a bravura rendition of Gibson’s tale, told with confidence by people I suspect will keep the plotting tight and the internal logic – whatever that may be – consistent. Those who can follow it at the deeper levels will no doubt find it immensely satisfying. The rest of us can enjoy the ride, and the distraction from the decidedly untightly plotted present.

Season 1 Review:
There are big ideas under the surface that The Peripheral can’t explore because of a greater investment in twisty plot, garbled jargon and complicated world-building. Still, there’s something to be said for a version of Westworld that is simpler and therefore less ambitious and less reliably frustrating.

Season 1 Review:
“The Peripheral” feels like a mashup of sci-fi ideas put to better use elsewhere, from “Avatar” to “Free Guy,” with a lot in between. Mostly, other than the sometimes-striking set design, there’s nothing particularly distinctive about the villains or the scenario, which feels more convoluted than engaging.

Season 1 Review:
Six hours in, the stakes and worlds of “The Peripheral” have barely been defined more than they were during the premiere because this is a program that only the people who wrote it could love. Showrunner Scott B. Smith, Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy exploded the world of Gibson’s novel but never bothered to put the pieces back together into something interesting.

This show is already addicting and a blast to watch. It might finally be the Amazon equivalent of Stranger Things

One of the best TV shows in recent times. An interesting fantasy component, interesting characters, a mysterious plot...

A mediocre movie for once. Bad Russians, good transvestites, a strong and independent woman. Everything is as the progressive generation likes

This show is basically all the cut scenes and no action. No fun. All exposition, very in-your-face. It couldn't get any more boring seriously.
