Reverie

I'm not sure this REVERIE will be remembered which is disappointing. It hired a strong cast, but as much as I enjoy Sarah Shahi in everything I've seen her in, there was a disconnect with her character from the very beginning. If I didn't know her to be a good actor I would have said her acting was poor, but I think it was just a miscast situation with a weak premise. Dennis Haysbert, Sendhil Ramamurthy were strong in supporting roles, as expected, and Jesica Lu, a newcomer for me, was solid, as well. The story telling, however, was a fail - it was predictable and uninspiring, which was ironic because this imaginary company was selling it's computer program as the answer to our dreams. Indeed the whole idea of marketing virtual realities just wasn't convincingly sold, nor was the need for an intervention professional. Talent, yes. Concept, flawed. Creative direction, a fail. I'll be surprised if this is renewed for a second season. I'd love to see this cast in another project. I give the series a 6 (flawed) out of 10. [SciFi Fantasy Drama]

Not bad... but can't see how they can drag this concept out over 10 or more episodes before it gets REALLY old. Three episodes in and I'm already losing interest. 5/10
