Timeless: Guardiões da História

Sorry, folks, but I watch TV to be entertained. Particularly when I am viewing Sci-Fi shows, I suspend reality and accept certain premises that may be technically flawed. By doing so, I'm not over-analyzing every nuance trying to figure out if it's consistent with current scientific knowledge.

With that said, I am apparently one of the few (along with my husband) who truly likes Timeless. Each week I look forward to the historical period in history where the characters will go. Besides that, there is the underlying story of Flynn-- who he is, why he's so protective of Abigail Spencer, what his true motives are (good? evil?) as well as who or what Rittenhouse is and why it wants to change the course of history.

I genuinely hope NBC gives this show a chance. There hasn't been a good time travel show for a while (I remember watching Time Tunnel as a kid!) Perhaps there's room to improve Timeless, and I think a lot of successful shows start out somewhat shaky, but I'm already a fan.

A Netflix -{ MICRO }- Review ; This's the first TV serial to get me watching -{ "TV" }- again ; in 5 LONG YEARS!

I literally -just- finished the -whole- First Season of "TIMELESS", and was just SO-O-O Wowed by what I saw, that I felt like I simply -HAD- to put "a few words" down here, before advancing -ANY- further. { There are two seasons in all, of which Season-1 comprises 16 episodes, with Season-2 being made up of 11 }. In the interests of 'full disclosure', however, it would be only fair for me to tell you ..'at the very get go'.. that if you're someone who's easily nonplussed by fairly in-depth explorations of well established -Actual- events thru ( -relatively- ) recent human history, then you are more than likely -NOT- going to appreciate this show, I'm afraid. As for me... well, I'd like to offer a "A HUGE, HEARTFELT" Thank You to Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Sakina Jaffrey, Claudia Doumit, Goran Visnjic & Paterson Joseph, ( Lucy, Wyatt, Rufus, Denise, Jiya, Garcia & Connor Mason, respectively ) ...for inspiring, enthralling, humbling, uplifting and EXCITING me in the way that I NEVER thought a "TV series" ever could! What an utter, & welcome: 'Revelation'!

I would've also loved to thank all of you SUPER TALENTED directors one by one, but as there are "All Of 13!" { -benign chuckle- } of you, I guess I'm just going to have to settle for the 2 'Leads' { i.e the 2 of you who have those ( relative ) super majorities of '5 episodes directed' each ; in addition to always being the -Very- first two to be listed }, namely Greg Beeman, & John F. Showalter. You've well-&-truly reinvigorated the notion of "..kept me on the edge of my seat right the way through!!!!!.." But -{ Most Of All }- Thank You not only for providing us with that VERY TOUCHING little "glimpse" into what the 'VERY-BEST( ! )' of inter-race, inter-sex ( and basically straight up "human -to- human" ) relations could -{ Potentially }- look like here on Planet Earth ( with -Pointed- reference to some of the -Main- characters, of course ) ; but also for all the SUPERB -HISTORICAL-, and indeed, POWERFUL SOCIO -ANTHROPOLOGICAL- insights which you've so graciously and wondrously provided us massively lucky viewers with, ( that, upon -careful- observation ), reveal themselves as being -{ Literally }- . . . . all over the place!

Summary: Kindly bear in mind that although this television programme is officially rated "12", according to -this- very platform, it is really -{ Not }- suitable for children. And so, pursuant to having gotten that rather important little -detail- off my chest, all that remains to be done before I quickly end this little -review- of mine, is to enthusiastically say the following. "There is no doubt -{ Whatsoever }- in my mind that I absolutely, positively -need- to be Awarding, and indeed Re-warding... this sheer small screen "Delight" with my 'trademark' "Personal -Grand- Slam" score of "25 Marks Out Of 10 Marks" ...and it comes with a veritable -Ton- of "Love and Appreciation", at that. YES, IT'S REALLY -{ THAT }- GOOD . . . . . OH, JOY!!!!! "

So happy to see that season 2 is a go. This was sch an entertaining show, and I love the cast. Hopefully more people will come to enjoy the show as well to keep it going!

I fell in love with this show right away. At first right it reminded me of Quantum Leap , but much better with a way better cast ( no offense Scott Bakula ) It seems like tv is being taking over by all the reality crap and singing shows. We need more of something like Timeless, besides it's teaching history to the kids who watch it. My Granddaughter is only 10 and she loves watching it and researching the actual events after watching the show. She thinks is soooo cool! Please keep this show moving forward and if ratings are a problem, then maybe a better time slot and day would work better. I have to record it cuz it's on to late for me. 4 am comes way to soon.

Just finished watching the last episode of the series, which was a good satisfying ending..The question, I keep scratching my head about, is why was the show cancelled? It sure as heck wasn't the ratings. I checked several sources, including IMDB. The ratings were high, which mirrored IMDB's 7.7 rating. Most of the shows in the last season were around 8.5. The finale was 8.9! So what gives? The time traveling show, that follows a college professor, a high tech pilot, and an Army Delta Force soldier through time. They travel in a prototype time travel ship, shaped in a sphere, called the "Lifeboat". A newer time travel ship, known as "The Mothership" is stolen by agents of a secret society organization, known as " Rittenhouse," who try to change history, in a quest to have complete power over the Earth. The Lifeboat team, chase Rittenhouse through time, to stop them. There are subplots involving the team members that give the storyline it's emotional lifts. This combination works well. Maybe NBC, or Netflix, will reboot the series with a new cast. Wish they would. Will see.
