Time
travel is such a great concept and it’s always fun to see it used for a
television show. This Canadian production stars Rachel Nichols as a
police officer from 2077 who accidently gets sent back to the Present with a
terrorist group. Now with the help from a teenage genius played by Erik
Knudsen who can connect to her brain from his home super computer via an
implant she must pretend to be a government investigator so she can stop the
terrorists from changing her timeline. The production value is
excellent and while the writing isn’t consistent, it’s still an entertaining
work of science fiction. Mrs. Nichols shows promise as the
lead, reminding me of the last season of Alias when I assumed she’d be the next
big star. As with all time travel entertainments you can’t get
too caught up in the details, over think all the possible paradoxes such a
situation would create and you’ll forget to just have a good time. This
is escapist fare and worth checking out. I’m looking forward
to the second season which for any television show means its doing something
right. Grade: B+
