Travelers: Die Reisenden

Clicked on this randomly because I was out of things to watch on Netflix and the description was interesting, pretty sure I would quit after the first episode.

BOY was I wrong. Hooked me right out of the gate with it's quirky premise and promise of a rich backstory, the acting was great and the writing was tight. Best off, over the first season run, it was NEVER predictable and always had me guessing.

I'd describe it as 12 Monkeys meets Fringe with a Stargate attitude. If those are things you like, you're in for a treat!

I can't believe an 8.1/10 IMDb rated show can be cancelled by Netflix (or anyone) after Season 3. Is Netflix trying to lose customers? I've always enjoyed time-travel movies/series. But Travelers is different. It is realistic science fiction with characters you love or hate. It is for this reason, Travelers is loved by both science fiction fans and the general public.

I was so upset when I learned Travelers was canceled after Season 3, that I signed the petition at change started by Travelers fan Lauren Brown.

I want to see Season 4, plus many more!

Such a high score at IMDb but it still gets cancelled. The usual thing, good sci fi can't live as a tv series. Very few have ever made it outside of Star Trek. But that is not my point. Hopefully, the end of this great show will give us a new perspective. Why must they last for many seasons? Why not tell a dam good story from start to final episode, planned from the beginning, instead of getting cancelled and leaving fans without closure? There are so many sources for viewing on tv and internet, so much competition, we should embrace a new format: STORIES that have a progressive plan and ending.

This one is really good. I don't think they seriously meant for the ending to be the ending,but in retrospect, they decided it was a good enough ending. And, it is a good enough ending. Would have been a better ending if it had been purposely planned as an ending.

The only bad part about the show,other than a few loopholes and bugs that we have all learned to overlook when they are minor, is that the baby, Jeffrey Jr., never stopped crying. I swear, they scared thousands of young couples away from parenthood for that reason alone.

Enjoy the show.

Travelers really is such an entertaining show, it sucks that it was cancelled early! I can't complain too much because I never watched it when it was on and just now finished it. There are plenty of time travel shows to choose from but this is among the better ones! As you can tell by the reviews most people who've actually seen more than 15mins have really liked it!

Hooked about half way through episode 5 of season 1. Many sleepless nights followed... The story is simple; Travelers are sent to the 21st century from the future, to save the future world. For the time travel fans, this is a treat. Runtime is 45 min per episode with only 3 seasons and with episodes that get better and better as the series progresses. Only problem is the slow start; took me some time to get used to the interpersonal drama and the characters' struggles outside of their core missions. However, that very part became one of the great things about this series later on. Casting was smart getting "Will from Will&Grace" as the lead. He delivers a good range of drama throughout the entire series and he is supported by a very well acting cast. 9/10 recommended series.
