Continuum – Another Time Jump Serial
by Rahul Singh on Jul.01, 2012, under My views
A detective from the year 2077 finds herself trapped in present day Vancouver and searching for ruthless criminals from the future. I was going to explore out this new serial – Continuum, I wasn’t actually thinking this show was going to be quite as good as it actually was. My all time favorite remains Fringe

Basic plot: In the future the world is run by corporations. A group of terrorists (or freedom fighters, as you will) commit a 9/11 style crime and are captured/sentenced to death. However, just as they are to be executed they manage to smuggle in a time machine and slip away into the past with a cop unwittingly coming along for the ride. Now in their past, our present, they have weekly bad guy trying to destroy the world, good guy trying to stop them hi-jinks.
By 2077 governments have been replaced by corporate rule and the terrorists are trying to bring back democracy by a revolution, so they have decided to go back to the past. Unfortunately though they wanted to go back just 6 years they are accidentally taken back 60.
Something I didn’t like: “Playing with God”.. Where this came from, you made a time jump and still believe in God. I guess it is for believers in God to shut up and raise nothing over this
I felt the cast is very solid, and has potential. The future tech is pretty cool and enjoyable to watch. Not overwhelmingly futuristic, but just enough to keep the sci-fi fans like myself interested.
This show currently is on my must watch list. I think it has great potential, and hope it stays as good as it is now.
Rating – 7.5/10 [After watching first 5 episodes Of Season 1]
