First a note for IMDb readers of the far future.
When this review was penned in 2017 the expression "cinema quality" was a compliment.
However if the current inverse ratio of quality between TV and cinema continues, by the time you, citizens of the future, read this, cinema quality will be a pejorative.
Speaking of the future, this low-budget little gem is rapidly becoming a guilty pleasure, a perfect blend of story and delivery, keeps you glued.
Eric McCormack deserves a role this good and I am glad he found one.
The only flaw in this sode is that the script "reveals" that, if the mission succeeds, the Travelers are no longer needed. So any viewer above the age of four will immediately conclude that, being a series, something will go wrong.
Watch the performance of Karin Konoval in particular as the cranky cancer patient taken over by a hi-level traveler. Her performance is so memorable for a moment I thought she was channelling the late great Gloria Foster who portrayed Oracle in the Matrix.
Great TV. (gulp) Cinema quality.
