Past

• Charlie Jade (Canada/South Africa, 2005)
  
  Imagine an episode of Sliders co-written by Raymond Chandler and William Gibson and maybe you’d be close. Private detective gets caught in a terrorist attack and finds himself stuck in a parallel universe and stuck at the center of a frightful conspiracy.
• Jekyll (U.K., 2007)
  
  Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde are back, in the modern day, and this time they’ve got a time-share agreement in this six-hour miniseries written by Steven Moffat (writer of the best episodes so far of the Doctor Who revival). Starts out very strong, gradually gets a bit too silly towards the end, then balances out towards the end. The whole production is over-the-top, but in the sort of way that only British drama can be, and is therefore worth keeping.
• Suburban Shootout (U.K., 2006-present)
  
  Cross Desperate Housewives with the work of Guy Ritchie, add a pinch of Hot Fuzz, and you might come close to describing this beast. This is an Oxygen show, so there’s a possibility that some of Oprah Winfrey’s money funded this. As far as we know, this one hasn’t been formally cancelled, but word on the street is that it isn’t expected to return. On the other hand, an American version is in development.
