Peripheral (the TV series) is awesome. Easily the best TV show I've seen this year.


The "go ahead, take some of this money" scene is bone-crushingly stupid, just for one and it's one of a raft of examples of the dialog is so lacking in any world building detail or signal of character motivations.

The greatest credit I can give it is that it fails in an interesting way, and doesn't fail from lack of interest in source material. And I'd rather live in a world full of shows that fail in interesting ways than ones that successfully execute familiar and shallow "is technology bad?" themes over and over.


I loved it too! I'd say second only to Andor.
