"Continuum Season 1"


  

          

starring Rachel Nicholas, Roger R. Cross (Curtis!) and some very familiar sci-fi genre actors

the premise seems simple enough. 2077 world is corporate run and a terrorist group ends killing over a 1000 civilians. get caught and get sentenced to death but during the sentencing a corporate protector (basically a cop for the corporations) gets sent back in time with them to the present.

the show gets better once the group starts doing things like attacking the police station. and you learn more about the future in flashbacks. episode five just premiered. it's more serialized than procedural.

i mean the future the protector is fighting to save is horrible

lots of murdering innocent folks.
which creates a gray area. and i wonder what is the deal with the genuis's activist family. they are alluding to something.

actually i've just realised that they are sticking to the non paradox version of things (im on episode 4). The bit in episode 1 where old alex smiles as the accident happens is him realising this is how she gets sent back in time. a nice touch.

in the future. I i wish they gave more backstory to the other libera8 members. Some of them feel very one note hard military types.
Kellogg's motives are still ambiguous and I wonder how his relationship with her plays out.

I still like it tho. I'm looking forward to a little more action/plot development next season. Also, how am I NOT supposed to root for the bad guys? They're CLEARLY right?

wtf?

Still, I liked the pilot. Very promising set-up. The reveal at the end was kind of anti-climatic.

I know Nichols is supposed to be serious but when the building blew up and all she did was move her lip a little bit, I had to laugh.
