Bar Karma is a supernatural drama series that follows the lives of patrons who visit a unique bar where their problems are solved with the help of the patrons and staff who possess unusual powers to manipulate time, space and reality. The show premiered on Current TV in 2010 and ran for one season comprising of twelve episodes.

The show stars William Sanderson, who plays James, the mysterious bar owner who controls the fate of the patrons. Matthew Humphreys plays Doug Jones, a music producer who has lost his talent, and Cassie Howarth plays Dayna Watkins, a waitress who seeks to reunite with her estranged father. The unique concept of the show, combined with the talented cast, makes for an exciting and intriguing series that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.

The show is set in a bar called Bar Karma, which is a place outside of time and space. Patrons who come to the bar are given the opportunity to change their fate by casting their problems into a karmic nexus - a mysterious device that visually represents their karma. The bar staff, including James, Doug and Dayna, then use their unique abilities to guide the patrons towards positive outcomes.

One of the key elements of the show is the Karma machine. The machine helps the characters to decipher their past, present and future, in order to make the necessary decisions to alter their fate. Using the Karma machine, patrons can see how their decisions will change the past and the future. They are then given the chance to choose between various scenarios, which will significantly affect their fate.

The show excels in its ability to create interesting and unique stories each week. From time-traveling thieves to a man who is dating his future self's wife, the writers create engaging and compelling plots that are both entertaining and thought-provoking. The show is a perfect balance of drama and humor, with witty writing and great performances from the cast.

Another major element of the show is the use of special effects, which are impressive for a series of its size. The show's supernatural elements create stunning visuals, as characters manipulate time and space to achieve their goals. The visual effects add an extra layer of depth to the show, making it an exciting and immersive viewing experience.

The show also tackles deeper themes, such as fate, destiny, and free will. It presents the notion that our lives are governed by forces beyond our control, but also empowers the characters to take control of their own destiny. The show is a reminder that we are responsible for our own happiness and that we have the power to change our fate.

The character development in the show is excellent. Each episode captures the essence of a character's journey, whilst effectively weaving them into the overarching mythology of the show. The characters' abilities and personalities are developed over time, and viewers are given an insight into their past and motivations.

In summary, Bar Karma is an enjoyable and intriguing series that combines supernatural elements with compelling storytelling. The show's unique concept, talented cast, and visual effects make it an entertaining and immersive viewing experience. The show's themes of fate, destiny, and free will provide a thought-provoking backdrop to the episode plots. Bar Karma is a series that should definitely be added to the watchlist of anyone who enjoys supernatural dramas.
