Hundreds of years in the future, the last surviving humans discover a way of sending consciousness back through time, directly into people in the 21st century -- "travelers," who assume the lives of seemingly random people. They're also secretly working as teams to perform missions in order to save humanity from a terrible future. Armed only with their knowledge of history and an archive of social media profiles, the travelers -- who include an FBI agent, a single mother and a college student -- discover that 21st-century relationships are as much of a challenge as their high-stakes missions.

John Doyle Globe and Mail 04/24/2019
Gorgeously made and menacing in tone from the get-go, it's actually more speculative than sci-fi, a portrait of our time, seen through the eyes of people in the future. Go to Full Review Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/29/2018
The series' mix of seasoned sci-fi directors and relatively new writers gives it a suitable blend of freshness and assurance, and watching even a single episode gives some sense of just how much there is to be teased out. Intriguing stuff. Go to Full Review Hanh Nguyen IndieWire 02/13/2017

It contains just enough intrigue for continuous viewing, but is light enough to not over-tax one's spirits. Go to Full Review Jennifer Bisset CNET 04/06/2023
...the real substance is in the moral dilemmas they face on a daily basis... Go to Full Review Mark Oakley Den of Geek 10/18/2018
Wright should be applauded for presenting a genuinely fresh and interesting vision. The acting is excellent across the board, with particular nods to Abrahamson and Reilly Dolman (Philip). Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 03/21/2018
It's entertaining and engrossing, fast-moving, and addictive enough that you are willing to ignore some of the flaws in its logic, and there are a lot of flaws here, as is often the case with time travel shows. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Elisha I @asapidox Feb 5 Season 1 starts strong, dips slightly in the middle with a few slower, mission-heavy episodes, then finishes with an excellent run. The concept is gripping, but what really works is how the show balances time-travel stakes with the messy personal lives of the hosts. By the final episodes, the tension, emotion, and bigger picture all come together perfectly — that finale was easily the highlight. A smart, character-driven sci-fi season that keeps getting better as it goes.

I binged this so hard and I’m so sad it’s over after 3 seasons. When friends ask what to watch - tell them about this show. See more Dmytro V. @dymytryo Sep 7 Slow-paced and boring. See more A L @RT38259492 Aug 23 What an absolute bore… Nothing „sci-fi”, just typical detective plot. This new trend of diminishing the science fiction genre on screen is disturbinh.
