I initially watched the first two episodes and gave it 5 out of 10 - not intending to watch any more. Then one day I felt in the mood to watch the third episode and ended up binge-watching the rest of the season in one go!
I have to say that there's a lot of crying involved. Top marks to both male and female actors for being able to cry on camera, but I did feel sorry for them having to go through the mill of emotions in order to serve the melodramatic aspects of the series.
There's a Rescue of the Day in all episodes prior to the last two. These rescues tend to be very introspective and emotional. Reverie should really be shown on Really rather than SyFy in the UK. But I remained intrigued by the psychological and science fiction aspects, which turned it into more of a thriller towards the end.
I've always been a big fan of Sarah Shahi, and she puts in a great performance in this series. The supporting cast is also pretty good, including some convincing per-episode guest casts.
Overall, I enjoyed it and was kept pretty close to the edge of my seat throughout. I'm still worrying about that final, unsettling, scene. It tends more towards therapy than science, but managed to tread a tightrope between the two quite successfully.
I'd love to see a second season but, sadly, I believe it's been cancelled.
