    VR.5 is straining mightily to ape the series it precedes, the excellent X-Files. ... All this said, VR.5 is kind of charming, in its shaggy-cyberdog kind of way.

    Trading on a paranoid, conspiratorial tone that recalls The Prisoner and MTV's Dead at 21, the show is jumbled but jazzy.

    VR.5 is a science-fiction TV show that Patricia Highsmith might have written. For all its vividly colored effects, it is above all an exploration of the unsolved mysteries of Sydney's interior life.
