A gritty detective show that spans three different alternate universes is finally coming to the Sci Fi Channel in the U.S. Charlie Jade starts with a murder whose victim has no identity whatsoever, which is unthinkable in the dystopian, corporate-dominated world where Charlie Jade lives. And then in the course of the murder investigation, Charlie uncovers a corporate plot to steal natural resources from an alternate universe — and then he falls through a wormhole into a universe much like ours. The South African/Canadian co-production looks, from the clips I've seen, much gritter and more complex than anything else on Sci Fi... except for Battlestar Galactica, of course. [Slice Of Sci Fi]
