Hailed as one of the best sci-fi novels of the decade, “Dark Matter” is a story about the road not taken. The series will follow Jason Dessen (played by Joel Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man who — one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago — is abducted into an alternate version of his life. Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

Seems overly familiar and they really need to retire "Dark Matter" as a title along with "Endgame" and others.

 

[Anwar]

Darn it, I thought this had to so with that SyFy show about the amnesiac criminals from 9 years ago.

 

[Rich Watson]

So they're finally finishing the series. Hated it when SyFy cancelled it after Season 3.

 

[JD]

Looks intriguing.

 

[E-DUB]

The book is just fantastic. One of those that you want to read again right after you finish it.

Read the book. I didn’t much care for the ending. Maybe the show is better than the book.

I’m honestly burnt out on metaverse stories.

 

[Morpheus 02]

So.... did anyone watch the show? Did this thread get buried and people forgot?

Episode 8 was cra-zy.... I am on my phone right now, but also wanted to talk about their Chicago pizza references...

 

[EyalM]

I'm watching...
Just happened across it since I got a free Apple TV trial. There doesn't seem to be any buzz about it...
Didn't realize what the ending of episode 7 was about until I saw episode 8. Have to say that I didn't see that development coming

 

[Morpheus 02]

So it just concluded.... no one here watched?????

 

[Guy Gardener]

Episode one and two were so bad I couldn't finish them.

Episode 1 A physicist so dumb, that he has to have Schrodinger's Cat explained to him.

Episode Two. Meeting and getting drunk with a doppelgänger of his wife in an alt universe, who never married him and never had his babies, ad yet the physicist ONLY SUSPECTS that he may be a slider, and this might be a parallel world.

Skipped episode 3.

4 onward was gold though. A little like Cube for a while.

So it just concluded.... no one here watched?????

I watched it this weekend.

I enjoyed it. Very trippy especially episode 8. I thought the ending was good.

 

[EyalM]

I was expecting a different ending. While real Jason was being split, his original family should have split too (a reality where Charlie got a blue car, for example). So all the extra Jasons can look for those variation realities, and I thought fake Jason will teach them how to find them.

 

[Aragorn]

Renewed for a second season.

 

[Airmandan]

2 of the episodes were directed by Roxann Dawson. Trippy show.
