The Matrix with Carrie-Anne Moss but without Keanu Reeves, it exists!

Everyone knows the Matrix movies, at least by name. But who remembers the series The Matrix? Already starring Carrie-Anne Moss, this fantastic show is largely forgotten today… and unrelated to the Wachowski’s Matrix saga.

The Matrix is ​​a Canadian television series that aired from March to July 1993. While the movie tetralogy focuses on the adventures of Neo and Trinity in the Matrix, the show is more fantasy than science fiction.

• The Matrix Quiz or Not The Matrix? Are these pictures from a movie?

The film tells the story of the assassin Stephen Matrix, who is killed during one of his contracts. Sent to Purgatory, he must choose between being sent to Hell or returning to Earth to help the living. He chooses to take the red pill…return to Earth and become a sort of guardian angel through rather brutal methods.

Carrie-Anne Moss plays Elizabeth “Liz” Till, Matrix co-owner of Silver Flex Gym and has feelings for an ex-assassin whose dark past she knows nothing about. The hero is played by Nick Mancuso (Tom Breaker from High Seas Trap and High Speed ​​Trap) and his assistant Billy Phillip Jarrett (who appeared in the days of Rintintin Jr.).

The Matrix show will be inspired by an episode of the Equalizer series. In the episode Sea of ​​​​Fire (S04E02, broadcast in 1988), Robert McCall is responsible for punishing students who attacked one of his classmates. To do this, he enlists his friend Mickey Kostmeier (Keith Sarabaica), a professional hitman who has had near-death experiences, to testify against the criminals. A striking common point with the matrix principle.

• Carrie-Anne Moss was broke after the first Matrix, but why?

The series was canceled after 13 episodes and would have been largely forgotten if not for Carrie-Anne Moss and her title. Absent from the platforms, it is very difficult to see, but remains an object of curiosity – dated – for today’s viewers.
