Really enjoyed the movie (that this is based on) so was a bit dubious when I saw this on the Netflix listings.

Gave it a shot and what can I say... 3 episodes in and I'm hooked! The casting is brilliant, especially the female lead, and the script and story line are engaging and move on at a really good pace.

If you know the movie, you will think exactly what I thought - "How on Earth are they going to make a series out of this?"

Well so far so good. It's covered most of the aspects of the original movie while bringing it's own new edge and side stories.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is a potential future classic (think Fringe / X-Files etc).

Can't wait for episode 4!

Being from the CW I expected to only watch half of it before changing the channel. Happily surprised I watched the whole episode and enjoyed it. Not so happy that it's a reboot...can't anyone come up with an original story anymore? That aside the show is well cast and acted (though a 28 year old Homicide Detective is a tough pill to swallow, technically possible, but extremely unlikely). The first episode has some serious twists, usually the type of stuff that would develop over an entire season. Hopefully they didn't put everything into the first episode and nothing into the rest of the season. It will be interesting to see if they can continue this caliber of a performance. Here's hoping.

Second episode kept pace, though not quite as dramatic, but within expectations.

A strong start that fizzled about halfway through the first (and only) season. The main storyline was stretched to its breaking point and the side plots felt discarded. A wonderful concept that was perfect for a movie but too open ended for a series. The timelines ran amok over each other and left plot holes everywhere.

If you are fed-up seeing Barry messing up time-lines and creating complications ,this show is perfect. Loved the pilot. They kept it simple with the science and acting is good. Peyton List was enough for me to watch it.

I haven't seen the original movie and i guess that makes it more sweeter. Don't care about the science and how much it makes sense in reality but it indulges you and that should be enough.

Looking forward for next episode.

Give it a try.

Thanks CW. 8.5/10

Solid performances and edge of your seat suspense.

Really pleased to discover they're going to work the different layers of the time-lines. Doing that, they can blow this series wide open.

The photography is great and the music fits nicely. They stuck with the main characters for the first episode, instead of watering it down by spending more time with the secondary players.

This may end up being one of the best "about time" stories I've ever seen. I really, really enjoyed the first episode and I'm so looking forward to more.

I can't recommend this highly enough.
