The Peripheral - Amazon Series


The Peripheral Season 1 - Official Trailer | Prime Video
Prime Video

Tam turned me on to this one and it's pretty great. We've got a near future that looks like a reasonable extrapolation of where we'll be in ten years, and we've got another time line maybe a hundred years in the future that also seems plausible. What ties these two timelines together is communication. Nobody actually travels from one time to another, but they can communicate. This seems a little far-fetched, but then again how far-fetched would face-timing someone on the other side of the planet from a hand-held  device seem to someone from a hundred years ago? This is something we did at brunch the other day when my nephew called from India.

We've also got gunfights between rival groups of guys who know what they are doing and combat video games with various levels of immersion, some of which will never be possible (according to me, but what do I know?).

Only one episode per week so far.
