Rueben's Ramblings

The new Apple TV+ drama Dark Matter will debut online on May 8.

This sci-fi thriller series is based on the book by Blake Crouch that follows Jason Dessen (Joel Edgerton), a physicist, professor and family man who – one night while walking home on the streets of Chicago – is abducted into an alternate version of his life.

Wonder quickly turns to nightmare when he tries to return to his reality amid the mind-bending landscape of lives he could have lived. In this labyrinth of realities, he embarks on a harrowing journey to get back to his true family and save them from the most terrifying, unbeatable foe imaginable: himself.

The cast includes Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga and Jimmi Simpson.
