- Title: The Peripheral – Haptic Drift
- IMDb: link
The third episode of the series feels a bit like The Peripheral is treading water without making much headway while refusing to do more than hint and larger ideas and secrets. What “Haptic Drift” does deliver is Burton (Jack Reynor) making an arrangement with Pickett (Louis Herthum), more of T’Nia Miller‘s character working against our heroine (for reasons still not explained), some information and backstory on more supporting characters I don’t have reason to care about yet, and Flynne (Chloë Grace Moretz) returning to the future and finding the secret apartment of her earlier visit but still no sign of the missing Aelita West (Charlotte Riley). “Haptic Drift” continues to be stronger within the sim than in reality, although a mystery that doesn’t make any headway could get equally tiresome quickly.
