When a group with nefarious intentions attempts to change the world as we know it by altering the past, Lucy, a historian, Wyatt, a soldier, and Rufus, a scientist, unite to form an unlikely partnership, traveling through time to save history. Their riveting adventures take them to some of the most thrilling, volatile and critical events on record, including a venture to the Old West, a sojourn to the Alamo, a visit to the famous Chicago World's Fair and a crusade into Nazi Germany. Along the way, they cross paths with famous historical icons, such as Josephine Baker, Harry Houdini, Ernest Hemingway and infamous rivals Eliot Ness and Al Capone. But every step the team takes to protect history puts everything we know at risk -- because changing one thing changes everything.

The series barely gets by thanks to its bet on adventure, entertainment and action. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jade Budowski Decider 12/20/2017
This overhyped, flashy pilot doesn't hook viewers the way it should, which is a shame, because there are really interesting and exciting elements to the show, and the premise is certainly sustainable. Go to Full Review Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant 10/04/2016
You want to keep watching partly because you're convinced the show will continue to mine new depths of silliness, but also because it's impressive how much it just doesn't care what you think. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

babarizam D @RT59932316 Jan 31 Fun part about this show is one do not need to watch whole. Just a bit of start a bit of middle and the end. I finished every episode in less than 7 minutes. See more Milla F @RT04300080 01/06/2025 Love it, seen it multiple times and if you are a history/sci-fi nerd like me you will love it too. See more Nathan E @RT57746047 08/19/2023 a very engaging and fun show, even though it is impossible to sympathize with the goal of saving the abomination that is the US state. Keeps you glued to the screen See more Melissa S @beachgirl61761 03/11/2023 I just discoverd this show and I'm so sad that it was not renewed for a 3rd season. WOW! Great and intriguing stories with outstanding acting and interesting character development. LOVE THIS SHOW! See more Troy J @Mortie 02/14/2023 Fantastic show. While it's made for TV the storyline is engaging. It's the relationships of the characters that build and make your appreciation of this underrated show also build. Sad they didn't make more. Kudos to a great cast lead by Abigail Spencer. See more Post-Apocalyptic T @RT28229675 01/23/2023 Fantastic show. Absolutely loved it. See more Read all reviews
