Title: Travelers (Netflix) Post by: Raguel on January 07, 2017, 05:08:58 PM Anyone else watch this? It's basically about a group of time travelers trying to undue the events that led to their crappy future. It's a good series IMO, but the finale angered me. Title: Re: Travelers (Netflix) Post by: carnifex27 on January 10, 2017, 07:37:37 AM I watched and enjoyed it. Part of why I think I liked it was not having any expectations after just stumbling across it on Netflix. Couldn't help but spend half the show thinking a tactical RPG based in the same world would be great, what with the five person squad set up.

At first I was like "what a thin plot device... film people doing everyday things and say they are inhabited by people from the future". Also at first, I was thinking "how can I like these people when I don't even know who they really are, and they've stolen other people's bodies?" But then it started to go places, and I was hooked. I didn't even mind the ending that much. It had a lot in common with Continuum. They even had the actor Ian Tracey who played Jason Sadler on Continuum, and I thought he would turn out to be something more than just the junkie's dodgy lawyer, but his role went nowhere.

Turns out I wasn't. Having said that I can't think of a better way to end the season and

This goes down as yet another Syfy-esque series that just missed being a good show (like Dark Matter, Continuum). It is so Syfy-esque I tried to find it on Syfy when I heard it was coming back.

Sucks, because I really liked it at least a ways into s2. |
