Dark Matter Series-Premiere Recap: Man and Superposition
Another Apple TV+ sci-fi thriller sees Joel Edgerton as a physics professor who experiences a total lack of recall.
Each episode began with a lengthy title sequence wherein co-creator and star Patrick McGoohan’s unnamed character angrily resigns from some unspecified high-security job and is then gassed and abducted, waking up to a strange life in a surreal village he’ll spend the duration of the series trying to escape. For one thing, we’re privy to substantially more information about the character played by star and co-producer Joel Edgerton before he gets drugged and forcibly ejected from his day-to-day: His name is Jason Dessen and he teaches physics at Lakemont College, a fictional but undistinguished institution of higher learning. So we have a reasonably complete dossier on Jason by the time he gets kidnapped by a masked man with a gun on his way home from the Village Tap — the un-fictitious and evidently well-loved Logan Square watering hole where he reluctantly joins Ryan’s Pavia Prize celebration one rainy night.
