I really enjoyed the Neuromancer book so hopefully Apple can make something of quality. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for The Peripheral, which was an ok book, but got a strange TV show adaptation (and I wasn't surprised at all to see it get cancelled after one season).
- inquirerGeneral 3y agoI think The Peripheral was renewed but went into total production limbo due to the strikes last year. It was then cancelled. Ok yeah I looked it up it was renewed fast in early February 2023 but was cancelled in August
- panzerboy 3y agoI have to say I quite liked The Peripheral TV show, was kinda bummed that it got cancelled. I liked the book as well.
- zellyn 3y agoI'm always puzzled by the feedback I see on The Peripheral. Granted, I haven't read the book, so I'm not comparing to anything. But the show was interesting, compelling, and fun. It also ended satisfyingly and absolutely doesn't need another season: in fact, it's hard to imagine a second season that doesn't go downhill. Better to leave it as it is.
- keiferski 3y agoThe series started off reasonably well but then quickly became typical (season 3) Westworld-style television, filled with superheroes and entirely devoid of any consequences for the characters' actions. I recommend watching the first few episodes, then pretending that the rest don't exist.
