Travelers

Somebody needs to bring this amazing show back. maybe for two more seasons. please

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

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.

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.

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!
