TV Show Idea: Matrix Murders

Synopsis: In order to convince people that they are inside The Matrix, a group of humans that have escaped (red pills) enter in and solve otherwise unsolvable crimes.  The operators outside the Matrix are able to hack the system in various ways (disguising the people inside the Matrix, changing the environment, giving the people jacked in tools and weaponry, etc.).  The more frequently the operators hack or the jacked in people bend the rules of the Matrix, the faster the Agents will find the group and eliminate them.

Basic episode plot: Someone's loved one just died/someone is being stalked by a murderer/etc.  The heroes approach that person and convince them they can solve the mystery.  As the operators read clues from the code and the jacked in people bend the rules to access areas normal people couldn't, the Agents start to chase the heroes.  Eventually the mystery is solved, the heroes escape the Matrix, the person saved/involved is rescued from The Matrix and brought to Zion.

Season 1 overarching story: One particular Agent is obsessed with catching the group and progressively bends/breaks more and more of the Matrix rules in order to catch the group with a climactic battle ending with the Agent being disowned by the other Agents.

Season 2 overarching story: A group of humans who don't agree with Zion or its goals have split off and formed their own city.  They are trying to work with the Agents to bring all of humanity back into the Matrix because it is more peaceful than their current existence.  This group is constantly working against the heroes all while the Agent from Season 1 is trying to find where he belongs.  Throughout the season his alignment shifts between working against the heroes and working to help the heroes.

  1. This is so much better than where Matrix 3 went with the story. So when's your Kickstarter going up?

    1. That would require me to know something about making a TV show in to reality...:) Hopefully someday this blog will become huge, someone will see this, and will steal my idea.
