SERIES PREMIERE
Visionary author William Gibson provides the source material for this gripping sci-fi adventure from producers of
Westworld and
Person of Interest and created by A Simple Plan’s Scott B. Smith. The appealing Chloe Grace Moretz stars as Flynne, who escapes her dead-end life in the Blue Ridge Mountains (circa 2032) by adopting avatars, including that of her war-vet brother (Jack Reynor), in violent VR games. When they agree to beta-test a cutting-edge simulator headset, Flynne is suddenly thrust into the future—the real future—of an embattled 2099 London, with consequences threatening her safety in the virtual future and the actual present. (Debuts with two episodes, the rest following weekly.)
(I loved
Person of Interest - I still haven't gotten over that Taraji P. Henson's character got killed off...)
