	Neither Karl Lubinsky, a black American man in Betaverse who came to South Africa to fight [[apartheid]], nor [[Reena]], who is a black woman from Gamma, which has no such form of oppression -- the two most prominent black characters in the series -- are representative of South Africa's indigenous black population. Although both Karl and Reena suffer from (and fight against) the local dangers to them that are exacerbated by racism, South African racial oppression is mostly portrayed as a background presence in the series, a variation on the themes that it explores, rather than directly addressed as a radical concern. (Reena, who does not come from a world where she was oppressed, nonetheless stuggles for agency throughout the series.)

'''''Charlie Jade''''' ([[2005]]) is a science-fiction television series that was co-produced by [[Canada]] and [[South Africa]] and created by Chris Roland and Robert Wertheimer. It ran for one season. A second season was scripted, but has not as yet been produced.

Twenty episodes were originally made for the first (and, to date, only) season of ''Charlie Jade''. A special "catch-up" episode, filmed in Montréal at a later date, was added to this run at the request of the Canadian network CHUM, in order to bring new viewers up to speed. This episode, "Can of Worms", fits in between episodes 16 and 17.

No episodes of this series were either written or directed by women.
