The first episode of "The Peripheral" gives a good overview about what we can expect from this new scify-thrill by the "Westworld" creators Lisa Joy & Jonathan Nolan.
We get to know all the relevant characters and especially Flynne played by Chloë Grace Moretz got my attention. She did a really good job in this episode and I'm looking forward to see more from her.
And then we have the plot. Flynne plays VR games to earn money for her dying mother and gets involved in something far bigger than one could expect. A virtual London, that by the way looks amazing, in which she has to do what the voice in her head says what leeds to a conflict with another player at the end of the episode. Followed by a hunt in the real world with a bounty on her head about 9 million! The episode ends with this cliff hanger, we don't know if she can escape these bounty hunters!
With this said the first episode of "The Peripheral" gets me interested in the show, hoping that it can hold this quality in the future episodes.
