The Odyssey Ryan wants you to forget



Odyssey was a Canadian series produced in 1992, part of the "huge burst" of scifi shows made that year along with X-Files and Babylon 5. Of all of them, it was the one that is the least remembered. In a sign of how rare scifi was in the greater culture, four scifi shows produced at one time was seen as a strange trend.

"When a young boy goes into a coma, he enters a world populated only by kids, while his friends and family continue on in the real world."

First episode date: March 9, 1992 (Canada)
Final episode date: December 26, 1994
Original network: CBC Television

This Canadiam gem of a find stars Ryan Reynolds and is a classic.
