The Peripheral
2022 · 1 Season · Amazon Prime Video · Science Fiction Thriller
The Peripheral is a stylish, ambitious adaptation of William Gibson's novel that delivers a compelling central performance from Chloe Grace Moretz and some inventive science fiction concepts. The show's dual-timeline structure creates an intriguing puzzle, but the dense mythology and rapid-fire worldbuilding leave many viewers struggling to keep up. Amazon's cancellation after one season means the story ends without resolution, making it a harder sell despite its significant strengths.
