This show continues to blow me away with how well written and acted it is. I am wondering if the title is part of the reason more people are not watching it. The movie was a strange little gem. and one that I did not enjoy much the first time I watched many years ago. It was too confusing and dark for my tastes. I re-watched it again out of curiosity after the first season of the TV show and it made more sense. The TV series starts out with the basic idea of time travel to stop a plague in the future, but it is so much more than that. Now in the 2nd season it has evolved way past that one idea. This is a very clever and smartly written show. As one who loves most movies and TV shows with time travel involved, since I was a kid and loved "The Time Tunnel". Over the years I have been a huge fan of Doctor Who, the reboot, Quantum Leap, Fringe, Sliders, Being Erica to name a few really good and entertaining time travel based themed shows. With so many truly bad shows on TV, don't miss this gem. I do not want to see people "discover" this show after it is canceled. Watch it now so we can keep getting new seasons. You will not regret it. I have not read comments from one person who actually watched the show and did not enjoy it. It is complicated yet understandable and intriguing. 2018 update. So glad this show made it all the way like the writers intended. The finale of this show is in my top three finales ever.
( my other two? Breaking Bad, and Six Feet Under).
If you have not seen it, watch it now! You are so lucky you can binge it. It was hard to wait each week to watch this show.
