Travelers
 

Started last week.

The series is a co-production between Netflix and Showcase.


Just watched Ep 1 and enjoyed it, looks quite promising so far.

Re: Travelers
 

So they 'leap' into people?

Sounds like part of the idea from quantum leap slightly

Re: Travelers
 

Maybe, but thats hardly unique to QL, in this case they only do it the once.

Re: Travelers
 

I thought it was a companion series to My big fat gypsy wedding.

Re: Travelers
 

Ep01 didn't tick any boxes for me :(

Re: Travelers
 

I am really intrigued so far. I am still trying to plough my way through the new series and I only watched ep 1 last night. I like the tone of it and will defo watch a few more eps. I love thinking about time travel and the fact that these guys are taking it seriously and going out of their way not to meddle with the timeline is great.

Travelers
 

Travelers - a new time travel series appeared on Netflix just before Christmas.

It's about a group of people, the travelers, whose minds travel back in time to people in this century who about to die and the travelers take over their bodies. Their mission is to save humanity!

I don't watch linear television at any other time of year, so why make Christmas any different.... so I've been binging on some series' and this is the first of them.

It's quite a good Canadian sci-fi drama, a bit more intelligent than the standard American fare, think Continuum, if you've seen that. Yes, its far fetched, but I've quite enjoyed it. So if you have Netflix (or other means...) give it a try.

Re: Travelers
 

Watched the final two episodes yesterday, thanks to it now being released on Netflix (on the 23rd).

Loved most of the episodes, there was one I thought was a bit duff (the one after they deflected the asteroid).

I was disappointed they "reset" Marcy.

The final episode finished on a cliff hanger, so I hope they renew it.
(That final episode was directed by Amanda Tapping [Samantha Carter in Stargate]).

Re: Travelers
 

....sorry, didn't see your original thread!

I think with Marcy the producers wanted to make the character tougher as she is meant to be on some kind of military mission. Yep, I noticed Amanda Tapping directing, plus you always get the same actors in Canadian dramas. I think they have about a dozen actors in the entire country!

But they are trying to mess with the timeline though, watch a bit more.... it's meddle with a capital M!

Re: Travelers
 

I've recently finished watching this and loved it. I was a bit unsure after the first couple of episodes, but kept with it and glad I did.

I loved the drama aspect of the travelers having to deal with the everyday lives of their hosts as well as take on their missions at a moment's notice. Adds a lot more depth to those kind of sci-fi shows where its just a case of a new mission/case every week to deal with.

Think again.

Re: Travelers
 

I loved seeing Rommi in Arrow, I just hope she is in it a lot more.

Re: Travelers
 

She's definately in for the rest of this season. Loved the English accent too!

Re: Travelers
 

Travelers will be back for Season 2 in the Autumn.

Re: Travelers
 

YES!

Well deserved return!

Re: Travelers
 

Travelers Season 2 returns on Monday 16th October.

Re: Travelers
 

ta, I updated the tv schedule on Wednesday.

Re: Travelers
 

Finally got round to watching Season 2 Episode 1 tonight.

So far, just as good as season 1, looking forward to the next one.

Re: Travelers
 

Season 2 is set to wrap up next week with a double (prior to its release on Netflix).

Its been an excellent season and hopefully this will get a season 3.

Re: Travelers
 

yeah, there was something in SFX a couple of months ago about google approval ratings and something else being through the roof (98% rings a bell) so it would be silly if it didn't get renewed.

Re: Travelers
 

Really enjoyed the finale. This season feels like it has gone so quickly and i cant see how they are going to get out of their current predicament without doing a bit of timeline reset like in 2x07.

Re: Travelers
 

Yep, just watched this myself. :)

Going to be real interesting now the cats out of the bag.

Its been a really good season, better than the first I think.
Season 3 really should be a no brainer for Netflix, fingers crossed.

Re: Travelers
 

Yeah, i cant remember the last time i found a present day scifi series so engrossing. It might have been Lost.

Re: Travelers
 

well that was a pleasant surprise this morning. Now that it is migrated to Netflix I forgot the whole season would drop in one go. :)

Re: Travelers
 

Its always been a Netflix series, its just that S1 & S2 was in collaberation with Showcase.

S3 is purely Netflix, so they didnt need to show it weekly (but you also got less episodes).

Re: Travelers
 

Is this show worth watching as not seen the first episode yet?

Re: Travelers
 

Yes.;)

Re: Travelers
 

Thanks just fired it up on Kodi!

Re: Travelers
 

Be patient, I thought it was slow going to start off with and it took me a couple of episodes to get in to it but if you like scifi and time travel you'll love this. It gets you thinking about the consequences of your actions and what would happen/the possibilities if you could go back in time and do things again.

Re: Travelers
 

It's an excellent show. It does start slow though but give it chance.

Re: Travelers
 

3 episodes so far.

Re: Travelers
 

I have just finished season 3. It is was excellent and I would gladly watch more. I wish it was a full 20 episode season and 3x10 was just the mid season finale.

Re: Travelers
 

I've just finished ser 3 no.5, trying to ration myself to one a day but it's tough to not binge.

Re: Travelers
 

Funnily enough i was thinking about that when i finished watching it because i think this is the only series i have ever watched where i have had one episode a week and then an opportunity to watch them all in one go. I think i prefer the flexibility of being able to watch them whenever i want and i think i enjoy it more that way because i get more satisfaction out of it. Some people might argue that having to wait a week is part of the excitement and fun but sometimes it can just be annoying.

Re: Travelers
 

Yeah, I watched them in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, found that to be better.

Re: Travelers
 

Ok, by the time i had finished episode 9(the plane crash one) i was addicted, before that i didn't have that binge watch feeling, now i can't get enough!
