Regenesis - The future today

Well well, to cut a long story short: "Regenesis" is first of all the first TV series on the subject of future technology and chemistry, microbiology and genetics.

Second "Regenesis" also used the latest online medias to create a story far above the series story. Everyone who watched the series from the first episode on could change the online game to get behind the secrets of the series. Some facts are left open and the tv-creators for that purpose created the whole company virtual and you can track down clues all through the internet to solve the mysteries behind the secrets of the employees. There is a story created that mixes up with the real science field so you can be an active part of the series story.

Now for the story: The scientists at the "NorBAC" laboratories handle the most agressive viruses and epedemics, genetic questions and micro-dangers from all across Canada and the USA. They gotta deal with the really smallest problems in the most extensive dimensions. They even dig out the Spanish flu from 1918 to find a final cure and also handle HIV and lepra. To cut it short they are the specialists in any case of dangerous bacteries and cellmutations.

In their first cases they for example gotta find the reason why people all across the country die when they all had contact and why the carrier who spreads the disease all along the way doesnt die, too. It turns out that a baby and his mother were infected on purpose and are resistent against the virus they carry while everyone around dies within hours. While they still try to get rid of the virus a boy comes out of nowhere and tells Dr. David Sandström (Peter Outerbridge) he was a clone born in 1990 when cloning of animals didnt even work stable.

Every character in the series has its own problems and secrets and that is what keeps the thing alive. Basically it also helps when you dont have a clue about genetics and microbiology (like me) because the content of the series is then quiet new to you and you will say out loud from time to time (like me) "Oh wow, that kinda stuff is possible?". Its not like for example Dr.House where you cant really follow the ways the crew thinks anyway and just take the diseases as facts. Here you get to know the way everything works in detail and that kinda scares you after a while.

Great series, go watch it!
