VR.5 is a science-fiction TV show that Patricia Highsmith might have written. For all its vividly colored effects, it is above all an exploration of the unsolved mysteries of Sydney's interior life.
VR.5 is straining mightily to ape the series it precedes, the excellent X-Files. ... All this said, VR.5 is kind of charming, in its shaggy-cyberdog kind of way.
