This Is Not My Life starring Charles Mesure. Charles is in the front center, in case you can't recognize him without the beard and gun.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New\u00a0 Zealand. 2020s. When Alec Ross (Charles Mesure<\/a>– V<\/a>\u2019s Kyle Hobbes) wakes up in a nice suburban house and realizes that he is supposedly married to Callie (Tandi Wright) with two kids, teenage Christian (Tom Cameron) and little Becky (Ariana Brunet), he is sure this is not his life. He doesn\u2019t remember any of it, yet his wife seems genuinely concerned. She tries to convince him that he is going through a head trauma after an incident at the house. He tries to run but there is nowhere to go.<\/p>\n

So he agrees to see their family doctor, Natasha Collins (Tania Nolan) at the Wellness Center. Everyone at the center, especially Collins, is very controlled and annoyingly composed. But it is not until Alec is taken through a back door, all tied up, that he realizes there is something seriously wrong. He runs, but soon he realizes that the cars are only \u201ccharged\u201d enough to run within the town limits, he doesn\u2019t seem to have enough \u201ccredits\u201d to book a flight and the \u201cWellness\u201d guys are after him.<\/p>\n

After he is captured, he finds himself back in the hospital. This time, however, he wakes up \u2013totally sure that he is Alec, a happily married man. His \u201cmemory\u201d is slow, but intact. But just when he is about to go on with his life, he sees the message he recorded during his escape- the message says that he is not sure who he is but he can\u2019t trust anyone, his family included\u2026<\/p>\n

Later, he starts to realize that there are even more wrong things with their town and that maybe, there are a few others who don\u2019t fit in, like him\u2026 As he digs deeper and meets Jessica (Miriama McDowell), things get even more complicated. What the hell is this place? Why are they there? And can they make it out alive?<\/p>\n

This Is Not My Life is a very intriguing and gripping sci-fi\/drama\/mystery series from New Zealand. Charles Mesure does a great job as Alec.\u00a0 The first two episodes are combined, so brace yourselves for a 85-minute pilot. And while the pilot is not exactly very fast-paced, it does a good job with setting the mood, introducing the characters, giving clues about the potential and building enough suspense to make you watch the third episode. And from the 3rd<\/sup> episode on, the show becomes a great, gripping ride that you don\u2019t want to get off of.<\/p>\n

I like the show\u2019s realistic sci-fi attitude. The technology is quite advanced, but not so advanced that you can\u2019t imagine their tech can\u2019t really happen 10-15 years from now. It really plays the mystery card well. The human factor in everyone is also explored pretty well. To say how would be giving things away, but know that it shows you that you can\u2019t just create a perfect, flawless community with human beings. You can\u2019t just create a master plan for people\u2019s lives and not think that things will not go out of control<\/p>\n

**<\/p>\n

Great context, good-writing. Every episode gives you exciting twists and turns.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about the show being from New Zealand. The theme is extremely universal and all the episodes can be easily found online.<\/p>\n

The only bad thing about This Is Not My Life is that there\u2019re only 13 episodes. In the end, there are still some questions that aren\u2019t answered, but that\u2019s not the screenwriters\u2019 doing. I have a feeling they were counting on a second season. Still, 13 episodes have prevented the writers from screwing up. All episodes are terrific and the series end with a fantastic finale, even if it was meant for a season finale. Yes, I have seen and loved all 13.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
