Hundreds of years from now, surviving humans discover how to send consciousness back through time, into people of the 21st century. These travelers assume the lives of others, while attempting to save humanity from a terrible future.

I've seen the first two episodes and it is very good so far. It's made by Brad Wright one of the stargate producers. Good sci-fi premise and well made so far.

It's sort of quantum leap meets continuum.

It's not a Netflix original but they own it now. It started as a UK show and Netflix hasn't says if they are making season 2 yet

It's legit a good film. The way they take over a body remind me of how the men in black take over people in the MAtrix.

HOWEVER, there is a moral code, as people who are schedule for death, down to the very last second are taken over. So they are not killing random people.

Though I think that might change in season 2 because of what happen in season 1.

It's good, watch it.

It's actually a Canadian show done by some of the stargate/continuum/dark matter crew. I believe it was on Netflix first.

ETA: it premiered first in Canada and then Netflix during the airing of the season in Canada.

I just finished season 1. Without any spoilers I'll just say that there had better be a season 2. And there probably will I would think. There aren't a lot of expensive special effects in this series, which is unusual for a series on time travel.

I really want more stargate, but in the meantime I hope the stargate production team keeps cranking out great series like this. Martin Wood directed a couple episodes, among other stargate directors. Amanda Tapping even directed one.

I feel like it's a better version of continuum. And I loved continuum early on. It was a very strong season 1 that had some unexpected turns. They keep revealing more about the mission and the future in a natural way rather than dragging things out in filler episodes. This should definitely be tried by sci-fi fans.

Well that's not true. In fact, there are two separate self contained main arcs neatly divided into 6 episodes each. These could have easily been separated into 2 different seasons.

Finished it yesterday. Loved it, and love the way they wrapped up season 1 while still leaving much up in the air.

It isn't bad. Will from Will and Grace was a big surprise to me.

We started watching this on opening night, unaware that it had just premiered the same day. It's like Quantum Leap and Sliders had a baby.

Eric McCormack is the only notable cast member, as it's a Canadian production, and they have those lame-arse native content production laws where X% of on screen and behind-the-camera staff must be Canadian.

We're 8 of 12 episodes in, and it's great.

I just want to come to say that this could be the best show on Netflix right now and I'm counting stranger things.

The wife and I binged it in 3 days and she is not a TV watcher

What a ride
