A mix of odd stories and fantasies that ultimately makes little sense.

Some mumbling hoodlums have shitty lives that get shittier.

A woman witnesses and participates in things she becomes a person of interest for.

Although not immediately spectacular, it gets good enough.

  • Inspired by The Peripheral - (2014 book), by William Gibson
  • Although it was picked up for another season, it was killed due to various strikes.
