OSIRIS: The Series

Now I typically focus my blog on the genre of film, but I could not help but showcase this new web-series called OSIRIS. Having the elements of espionage, science fiction, the supernatural, and a gritty crime fiction theme, you can't go wrong. I think what got my attention first was the title "Osiris" having some background of the person that this character is named after piqued my interest even further. And S/O to the city of Atlanta for its diverse backdrop. So I watched the first episode and I am hooked!!

   

“Osiris” is a new 10-episode indie scifi/thriller web series featuring gritty crime fiction, espionage and the supernatural. Much of its inspiration comes from classic network shows such as Lost, True Blood and 24. Filmed with very little money, the filmmakers hope to entertain as well as demonstrate that film creativity can still flourish without a Hollywood budget. 

The series follows the title character Osiris, a man with an eternally extended warranty on life. He can never die. If he’s shot, he comes back. If he’s stabbed, comes back. Even if he’s blown up, he comes back…in exactly 37 minutes, every time, in excruciating pain. This has been happening for over 300 years. 

He’s become a cocky, tough-as-nails, suave womanizer that treats people like dirt because everyone he’s known eventually dies. All except for one person, his great great granddaughter, Paula. She’s one of the few people that know of his unique gift of immortality. She’s also one of the only people that can keep him in check. 

As the series begins, Osiris is tasked to track down a missing witness in a federal murder trial, which not only unravels a conspiracy but also unveils clues to the true nature of his eternal life. 

Every other Wednesday, beginning Sept 28th 2011, a new 8-10 minute episode will premiere right here for free!


All I could say is wow, the storyline/plot, the characters, everything this is a webseries that you do not want to sleep on. If you are familiar with the "Blade" comic and movie series it takes on some similar elements.
