Viajeros

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!

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.

If you breeze on by this one, you will miss something.

Canuck Sci-fi veteran Brad Wright (Stargate) seems to have teamed up with Canadian actor/producer Eric McCormack to bring us one of the tightest and leanest shows I have seen in quite some time.

The concept is a joy. Wright has taken the notion of "walk-ins" (something that was hugely popular in the 1970s and then disappeared) and updated it to a more modern, edgy, arc for this series.

The writing is so tight you could use it to re-skin a drum.

Unfortunately, so is the budget. The budget is so lean that you almost expect the TV to turn itself off the moment the show ends. To save power.

The opener hooked me -- solid acting, direction, really neat characters you can care about -- and I can happily put up with sparse location shoots in return for an interesting show. (As for example in the classic Canadian series Witchblade, which also got the most output from the least input.)

Intrigued, happy, optimistic. Hopefully this show will find an audience.

10 episodes for Season 3 just isn't enough and I believe Season 3 is the strongest season yet.

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!
