For those who don’t know, basic premise is robocop type from 2077 gets sent back in time with a bunch of prisoners during a failed execution (a lot more revealed about that as time goes on) and is stuck in 2012 trying to catch them and get back, the plot changes/evolves a lot as the show goes on. Another main point is a young tech genius who later becomes overlord bezos is helping her. (minor spoiler) I feel like I could write paragraphs about the plot with fullon spoilers that would only really spoil 1% of what goes on in this show.

I always liked time travel concepts and watched every show/movie and read a lot of books/manga/comics related to it, but somehow never heard of continuum. This show was solid, nothing too crazy, but it was consistent with the twists and the plot stayed fresh keeping the show entertaining, I was able to binge it pretty fast without the usual headache that comes from a long show where it just starts to blend together.

They do thematic changes a lot that definitely helps. Season 1 was like buddy cop, man in the chair, almost superhero like. The later seasons switch more to being about branching realities, different timelines, how small changes effect people, and I like how they approach time travel in multiple forms. I wish it kept the cheesiness tho, felt like it got way more serious in tone by the end.

The show also kinda hits extra right now since the politics and the world people are trying to change are basically the direction we are going rnow with corporations, corrupt government, etc.
