Netflix, The Travellers
show dates to 2016 , apparently runs 3 seasons,

Eric Mcsomebody ,(Will from Will & Grace) is the lead actor,


basically the Earth is in bad shape several hundred years in the future and a way has been found to transport people from then, to now, but only the Conscious, not the body,
so they take over people that are going to die seconds before they do,
and are trying to save the future world,


interesting so far (just finished the first season)

happens in the PNW, and has some actors from Stargate in it (the hot Dr and Amanda Tapping)

Solid show. Like many, it starts to "wander" after Season 1 and weakens a bit, but still a good watch. My wife and I enjoyed it.

The part I found cool/funny was that they had to research their "target bodies" on whatever records remained, so they missed out on things like "This guy is a junkie". Big Grin

That's ambiguous since there were two hot doctors in Stargate.
So to clarify....
Teryl Rothery is in it - not Jewel Staite





This is where my signature goes.

I am currently rewatching this series. Its a twist on time travel that's fresh. It's really creepy the way they send messages back however.

I liked the series a lot. I watched it a while back. It's been a while since I've seen it so I started rewatching it recently. Good show.

Finally started watching this. I've binged to S3 now.

It's pretty good - I enjoyed watching it. It's somewhat mild; it doesn't have an overly serious, intense tone but doesn't come across as simplistic either. One does have to avoid thinking too hard about the mechanics and such; just believe in certain things as possible at face value.

I think I like the Trevor character the most. Seems well balanced and the least baggage.

While I don't think I'm aligned with the methods of the Fanatics, I have some initial conflicts between what they belief and the Director. Maybe that will clear up with the final episodes. One thing I don't get is that if Helios was successfully diverted, what complaint do the Fanatics have - the Director was successful.

I watched it shortly after it first showed up on Netflix. I thought it was great. I may run through it again.

My wife and I enjoyed the series. Per usual, it got somewhat less coherent and entertaining with passing seasons, but remained a good watch.
