'Dispatches From Elsewhere' premiere: Meet Peter in… ‘Peter’
Well, I am excited to embark on this journey with you as your recapper. Based on this first episode, it’s sure to be a doozy. The show, created by and starring Segel, is a quirky kind of science fiction fever dream in which four “normal” people are pulled into a world of magic, technology, and philosophy. It’s not clear where the first 11-episode season of this designed-as-an-anthology series is headed, but here’s to finding out.
He introduces Peter. Painting him as a meek and bland individual and asking the viewer to imagine they are Peter, he says Peter lives alone, walks the same route every day to and from his corporate job at an on-demand music listening company, avoids making eye contact with people he passes, and experiences little or no break in monotony. As the narrator says in uber-philosophical line No. 1: “This is tragedy in its most quietly devastating costume.
On his walk home that night, Peter “sees” another flier. It’s for a study about trying to convert memory into media. He imagines watching his life on several TV screens — fishing with his father, his father dying. When he stops daydreaming, Peter sees a hooded, masked man putting up a new flier. The man runs off when he sees Peter. The man’s flier says, “Have you seen this man?” and there’s a picture of the hooded man on it. The flier also has Jejune Institute written on it.
He speaks to Peter as if present in real-time. He says he’s been working for more than 40 years to “illuminate the oneness hidden in plain sight and highlight the separateness” responsible for all human strife . Peter is a key to realizing his vision; one of few who’d follow the steps to get to where he is now. In uber-philosophical line No. 3, Octavio tells Peter everyone shares the common dream that they will be told they are special and meant for more than mundane life.
Peter tells his therapist about Simone. He says working with her made him feel like he was seeing the world through new glasses. Everything seemed more beautiful and things weren’t holding him back. He felt like magic was real. That joy and his time with Simone faded, but he still remembers how she was having so much fun while he was so scared. He wishes he could be more like her.
