Quotes:

Alpha: I could've had whatever I wanted! Forever!
Jay: Dead is forever...

I concur, mindboggling

Odyssey is a complete ride. Intricte as only a serialized TV show can be, with development of characters and growth. The plot is complex and has several overtones of quests, politics, etc. Jay's attempts to return to Upworld take him on a long road we get to join. This show is seriously weird
