Odyssey 21

Netflix Original Series

"Odyssey 21" reimagines the epic journey of Homer's Odyssey in the vibrant and chaotic landscape of early 21st-century society. The series follows Odysseus "Ody" Carter, a brilliant but troubled entrepreneur, as he embarks on a modern-day quest to return home after a disastrous business venture leaves him stranded far from his loved ones. After a high-profile tech startup collapses due to a betrayal by his business partner, Ody finds himself in a series of misadventures across the globe. Along the way, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including formidable rivals, loyal friends, and unexpected allies, all while navigating the pitfalls of modern life and the complexities of human relationships. Ody's journey is filled with both exhilarating adventures and profound lessons about loyalty, love, and the meaning of home. With his wife, Penelope Greene, waiting for him in a bustling city, Ody faces numerous challenges that test his resolve and ingenuity. As he encounters obstacles reminiscent of the mythical creatures and treacherous trials from the original tale—such as a ruthless tech mogul standing in his way and a mesmerizing influencer who distracts him from his goal—Ody must rely on his wits and the support of his close-knit circle of friends to navigate his way back to Penelope.
