Charlie Jade
Charlie Jade is a
science fiction television program filmed mainly in
Cape Town,
South Africa. It stars
Jeffrey Pierce in the title role, as a
detective who finds himself trapped in a
parallel universe.
Summary of plot
The show utilizes the idea of
parallel universes, or a
multiverse. There are several universes that coexist - each somewhat different than the others. As of the first season, these are the universes that have been explored in the TV series:
- The Alphaverse, a dystopian view of what our future could be like. It is the home universe of the main character Charlie Jade. The Alphaverse's inhabitants are segregated into "classes" of different levels (e.g., C-1, or Class 1 - which stands for Upper Class). It is dominated by five gigantic multinational firms. Prime among these is a corporation called Vexcor. Despite the Alphaverse's dystopian society, it does contain some futuristic technology that is within the level of our capability.
Background
Though viewers will doubtless recognize a similarity to
Blade Runner and the episode
"Double Cross" of the series
Sliders, especially in the scenes set in the Alphaverse, Wertheimer has said in interviews that much of the
ethos of the series is primarily influenced by
Derrick Jensen's book
The Culture of Make Believe.
