Really loving this show. Lots of twists and turns. Lasts nights ep had me on the edge of my seat. I actually thought a character or two might 'buy it' or be errr 'lost' in the shenanigans.

Loss of self, intrusion, the bad guys manipulation of well everything that was just great.

I just like how mostly the characters (bar Victor) aren't dumb and usually figure stuff out or do the sensible thing.

Though I would like Kiera to just answer the damn phone when the futuristic version of huggy bear rings her. Even though I get that he constantly bugs her so she just assumes he's mucking about.

Have to agree this is coming along nicely. Hope it either gets renewed or a decent conclusion

Started watching this the weekend, Not as good as I had hoped or expected after reading peoples comments. Easy enough to watch and some interesting story lines but not as gripping as it could be.

With only 1 episode left to air will be interesting to see if it does get renewed.

Watched all 9 episodes so far in a couple of days

Think its ok, not great and not bad. Has some quite clever moments, but some of the episodes have been quite boring.

 
Am quite interested to see what happens now that Kagame knows a young Alec Sadler is involved and also knows where he lives due to the farm siege. Also they said they travelled backs 65 years, if so wouldn't Sadler be about 80-85 in 2077??


Can't believe this won't get season 2 as if not they have a lot to wrap up in the season finale this week.....

this naff intro always makes me cringe ...

Year 2077, my time, my city, my family. When terrorists killed thousands of innocents, they were condemned to die. They had other plans. A time travel device sent us all back 65 years. I want to get home. But I can’t be sure what I’ll return to if history is changed. Their plan to corrupt and control the present in order to win the future. What they didn’t plan on, was me!

No word on Season 2 yet, episode one got 1.9m viewers so for its seen as a sucess for Showcase. I think the show has potential to go further. It'd be nice if we watched the changes in the future as things progressed, maybe have a story arc set in 2077 at the moment when they all disappear.

Did the paradox thing get explained? <
 
The killing of the grandmother yet the grandson survives?

IMO that whole paradox thing
 
might prevent him from being born and possibly going back but since he has gone back already and no longer in his own time he wouldnt feel the end result if you get what I mean.

Yeah but it has Rachel Nichols in it!

*swoons all over the forum*

I've got about 5 series on the go at the moment, but if it appears on the Sky planner, i'll record a few and see what I think. Won't go out of my way to download it.

I'm not too keen on Rachel Nichols, she seems to be playing Kira identically to the character she played on Criminal Minds (temporarily replacing AJ and Paget, until they were brought back); never liked her on Alias (where she was also intended to possibly succeed Jennifer Garner, however it was cancelled)

I watched the 1st episode of this on Saturday. It could be quite enjoyable if it wasn't for the constant grating soundtrack throughout the whole episode.

For the r Nichols lovers the only gripe I had the the inconsistency of her hair colour even though it was only 10 episodes!!! Brown, red, black, red, Brown, red black. LOL

I gotta say, just watched the second episode and I'm utterly hooked! Rachel really sells the character and I REALLY like the fact they touch on her facing the fact she may never get home to her family. One of the best ScFi twists on time travel I've seen for a while and the production values are great too!

Can't wait to see where it goes as it has a fair few sub story's bubbling underneath.. it's certainly leading to something rather explosive

Lets hope it's a big enough hit they keep it going for a while eh?

I think it’s scary how much we seem to be working towards this future with untouchable companies. Some of the tech is also cool. It’s nice to see something with no concrete black and white. The ‘bad guys’ are working for the right causes and the ‘good guys’ are actually helping this terrible future.

the intro is a bit naff, sounds like she is blurting it out too. but i like how ambiguous it is.

brave for a corporation to create a series where all corporations are *******

About 6 episodes in on Season 1, and its ok, bit slow, so glad the first season is only about 10 episodes.
