Reverie is a science fiction drama television series that premiered on NBC in May 2018. The show is created by Mickey Fisher, who is best known for his work on Extant. The show features a strong cast, including Sarah Shahi, Dennis Haysbert, Jessica Lu, Sendhil Ramamurthy, and Kathryn Morris.

The series follows the story of a virtual reality program called Reverie, which allows people to enter into their own personalized dreams. The program is created by Onira-Tech, a company that specializes in creating fully immersive virtual environments. Mara Kint (played by Sarah Shahi) is a former hostage negotiator, who has been struggling with the aftermath of a tragedy when she is approached by her former boss, Charlie Ventana (played by Dennis Haysbert).

Ventana persuades Kint to use her expertise in negotiation to help people who have become trapped in Reverie. Once individuals enter the virtual world of Reverie, they can become so engrossed in their own dreams that they are unable to distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. This leads them to become trapped in their own subconscious.

Kint is joined in her efforts by Onira-Tech programmer, Paul Hammond, (played by Sendhil Ramamurthy) and Reverie security guard, Alexis Barrett (played by Jessica Lu). Together, the team attempts to save as many people as possible from being trapped in Reverie indefinitely.

The show is set in a near-future world where virtual reality is a common occurrence. The idea behind Reverie is that people can enter into a dream world that is personalized to them, and they can essentially live out their fantasies. This can be incredibly liberating for many, but it can also be dangerous.

Throughout the series, Kint and her team face a variety of challenges, including dream sequences that are so immersive that they threaten to become permanent. In some cases, people become so engrossed in their virtual reality that they choose to stay permanently, leaving their loved ones behind in the real world.

The main focus of the show is on the psychological aspect of virtual reality. Many of the characters are dealing with trauma or anxiety, and they turn to Reverie as a means of escape. The virtual reality sequences are depicted in an awe-inspiring and visually stunning way, with a great deal of detail given to the individual dreams that people experience. This attention to detail helps to make the show feel more realistic.

One of the main themes of the series is the idea of control. The creators of Reverie believe that they can control the virtual world and that they can predict how people will react to it. However, as the series progresses, it becomes clear that there are limits to this control. People have the power to create their own realities within Reverie, and they can use this to either heal or hurt themselves.

The show has a strong emotional core, with each of the characters going through their own personal struggles. Kint, in particular, is haunted by her own past, and this has an impact on her ability to help others. The relationship between Kint and Ventana is also complex, with both characters having a strong sense of loyalty toward each other despite their differences.

Reverie is an engaging and thought-provoking show that explores the possibilities and dangers of virtual reality. The strong cast and attention to detail in the dream sequences make it an immersive viewing experience that will appeal to fans of science fiction and drama. The series also has a strong emotional core, which makes it compelling viewing for anyone who enjoys character-driven stories.

Reverie is a series that is currently running and has 1 seasons (10 episodes). The series first aired on May 30, 2018.
