of ten episodes each that already have been prepared, as detailed below.

Dark Landings - Season 1

SEASON ONE includes the characters and stories of Dark Landings The Short Film and many and much more! The first three episodes have been written, and the others plotted and outlined. Skye and her family come under attack by violent radicals led by the hardcore Joel Matthews, Roe and her team scramble to save lives, which leads to — other violent radicals enter the Dreamscape and attack Skye with an evil equivalent of Witness. This group builds truck bombs and plots assassination in a try for a state-wide takeover and wholesale executions of opponents.  Another radical, disgruntled by failure, takes an assassin’s aim at Skye and makes the biggest mistake of his life when the same bullet that hits Skye also impacts Roe.

Dark Landings - Season 2

SEASON TWO Of Dark Landings has also been outlined and plotted. It includes a group of criminals who make one of the greatest mistakes it’s possible to make — they try to kidnap, rape, and murder Skye’s daughter Crissy. Add to this a reclusive mountain monk who miraculously saves a hiker who fell off a cliff, Skye’s husband Steve showing up in shocking and wonderful fashion, and then… Dark Marty and Good Artie — twin brothers who seem the Jekyll and Hyde of American crime. Dark Marty kills hookers, tries to rape and kill Detective Moon, succeeds in capturing Mac, but… You don’t threaten Roe’s detectives without eventually meeting her one-on-one yourself!

Dark Landings 'Does A lot'

Dark Landings combines modern history, politics, and diplomacy with spiritual possibilities while tied to a modern US police procedural complete with strong characters, vivid villains,  diabolical doings, and pernicious plots.  Along with producing an excellent, well-received, and highly popular program we have two other goals.

The Junta’s Evil Trio—Massera, Videla, and Agosti
Thanks to them, the Wednesday night flights returned empty.

The Grandmothers of the Disappeared Children.

An Inherent, and important, goal

One of our main goals Dark Landings is to draw attention to what happened in Argentina  under the junta, especially the tragedy of the newborn Argentine children of the murdered “dissidents” who childless military families ‘adopted.’ The grandmothers of these children, shown in the picture to the left, still protest in front of the government offices in Buenos Aires every Thursday. They still hope to find their missing grandchildren (“Los Desaparecidos”).

About 350 children remain missing as of this writing. The Argentine government is now assisting in the search for them, but it would be wonderful to spread awareness and potentially help reunite even one family.

Skye’s family home—if the radicals have their way.

The huge overall goal

Dark Landings the Short was a great success. Our next goal is produce an engaging, valuable, and exciting episodic that is noteworthy for being unique and creative. Dark Landings does this by including dynamic good and evil characters, the better elements of a police procedural, and real history and realistic  political drama that addresses numerous cultural and social concerns. It also incorporates mysterious and spiritual aspects. Importantly, Dark Landings is not a narrative of revenge but a tale of prevention, justice, and – possibly – karma
