I’m sure the Harry Potter fans amongst you can do a lot better than me.
A cliché it may be but starting at the beginning just feels so right. ‘Apertus’ was the name of the first episode of the far too short-lived NBC sci-fi-ish VR-based drama Reverie.
The show starred Sarah Shahi (Person Of Interest) as an ex-hostage negotiator brought into a virtual reality tech company to help with some problem customers. She’s not there to sort out a compensation deal or write an NDA. No, Mara needs all her persuasiveness and empathy to encourage VR users so caught-up in the fantasy world they’ve created for themselves to leave. Their reasons are varied and complex so it is up to Mara and other members of the team to do the detective work IRL and in VR.
Kathryn’s Monica Shaw works for the Department Of Defence, not surprisingly interested in the ability to put people in life-like VR, has her own agendas, and involved herself in the company.
We didn’t get to see much of Kathryn in this opening episode but got to see that wonderful smile in the short time we had in her company. A much missed highlight of any show.
Now available in the KM UK the Gallery is a new collection of full HD (1080p) screencaps from ‘Apertus’.
