    Default Travelers (Netflix "Original")

    I put original in quotes because it is only a Netflix original outside of Canada.

    Has anyone watched this show? I just binged it today and it was pretty awesome. One of the lowest budgeted sci-fi shows I have ever seen (virtually no VFX) and yet it made it work exceptionally well with engaging writing, plot, and acting.

    I'm hoping it gets a second season.

    Ahahaha well this took off well.

    Anyway...season three arrives soon. There is a trailer out on youtube but i can't link it due to naughty language.

    And since it now a full netflix original this season probably has a better budget now.

    For shame, Gaidin

    But seriously this show is amazing for what it is. I love when low budget shows make due with what they got.

    And the actors are so great in their roles, with McCormick and the guy that plays Trevor as the highlights.

    Last year, they took the opportunity to do what every sci-fi or fantasy show does...Do a groundhog day episode. And damn was that episode dark

    Great News, season 3 on Netflix 14th December.
    Great Show with a lot of tension and a interesting backstory. Especially that episode with the Skydivers really freaked me out, that poor girl

    But yea. It's like sci-fi tv show tradition to rip off groundhog day. Until this show and Legends of Tomorrow, Stargate SG-1 did it best. Now SG-1 has to settle for bronze.

    Might as well give it a look.

    Because why the f-- not? That's why.

    You'd be surprised how often that works very well for science fiction shows.

    Best. Cliffhanger. Ever.

    Yet it also completes the story.
