A man from the post-apocalyptic future, Cole uses a dangerous, untested method of time travel to get from 2043 to the present day. He is on a mission to locate and rid the world of the source of the plague that will eventually annihilate the human race. Assisting him is Dr. Cassandra Railly, a virologist who must decide whether to do harm in order to save the world -- regardless of the fact that she has taken the Hippocratic oath. The sci-fi series is based on Terry Gilliam's 1995 film, which starred Bruce Willis as Cole.

12 Monkeys finally unmasked The Witness during [the] Season 2 finale, and the reveal was exactly what you want out of a twist: shocking yet somewhat expected in the sense that it had been carefully crafted to reach this point, so it made sense. Go to Full Review Henry A. Otero TV Fanatic 02/01/2019
4.7/5
This is the farthest back we've traveled on the series and it's going to be a total blast. Sure Cole and Cassie are at odds, but it should be interesting watching them rebuild their relationship. Go to Full Review Lauren Gallaway CBR 02/01/2019
The pacing and danger continues to grow with each episode in season two, and the series continues to be both a time travel-based drama and a psychological thriller. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

See more Christian T @Tur7on 04/11/2023 Season 2 starts to get more involved with the time travel aspect of the show, and evolves nicely See more Charles B 03/25/2023 I keep falling asleep, esp during all the shootouts, making it increasingly difficult to follow the plot. Two more seasons to plow/sleep through before we ( presumably ) get rid of the pandemic. See more 06/26/2022 Masterpiece 😤😤 It deserves more attention See more Read all reviews
