The Odyssey

[(Anonymous)]

Fandom/Canon Name: The Odyssey (1992)

What's awesome about it: The Odyssey was a 90s Canadian fantasy/drama TV series about Jay, a boy who falls into a coma after an accident. Jay finds himself in a strange new world, unaware that he is in a coma, and with no memory as to how he arrived. In the "Downworld", adults do not exist, and the kids have structured their society around clubs (e.g. The Library Club). The Club in power, The Tower, is essentially a police state led by the mysterious wise "Brad" (who may or may not be Jay's missing and presumed dead father). Jay meets Alpha, a member of the Library Club who coincidentally looks exactly like his friend Donna, and Flash who looks an awful lot like the boy who stole his father's telescope, and the three set off on a quest to find Jay's home and his dad.

On the outside, Jay's mother, his friend Donna, and Keith, who feels responsible for the accident, care for Jay, hope for him to wake up, and deal with the reality of loving someone in a long-term coma.

This is a nostalgia fandom. It's a fun, emotional, sometimes kinda wacky kids fantasy show that tried to pose some interesting questions about life and conciseness (will the Downworld cease to exist if Jay wakes up?). Oh, and Alpha A.K.A. Donna is amazing.

Where to find: Oh look, a handy Youtube playlist with all 39, 23 minute episodes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrmbFnr20nM&list=PL62F4BBD274B0E544&index=1
