    Three worlds... one hope.

    This show aired a few years ago in Canada and South Africa. It is one of the most creative and unique sci-fi shows that I've seen in years. The acting and production values are stellar. I can't say enough good things about this show. It only lasted one season, but without spoiling anything I will say the final episode satisfactorily wraps up the main conflict and does leaves the door open for a second season.

    Give the show a chance. It takes about five or six episodes to really get traction, but once it does... wow.

    P.S. - here's a flavour of what the show looks like. The video quality is crap but it's the best trailer I could find.

    It looks a lot like Blade Runner. I'll have to check it out.

    Only the one world, Alpha, looks a bit like Blade Runner. The other two worlds (Beta and Gamma) have their own unique look. The show's creators, directors and production crew did a great job with the different visual styles of each alternate universe.

    watched it and liked it. I'll definitely keep at it until sci fi tosses it out.

    Wanted to DVR it, but the box was full--stupid wife "had to" record "Holes" (which we've seen before a few times) from the HD channel, and she overloaded the box capacity. :bang:
