Many centuries into the future, the Earth's population has dwindled to almost nothing -- but the survivors have discovered the key to time travel. The last surviving humans discover they can send consciousness back in time to the 21st century. Inhabiting seemingly random people. Desperate to save humanity, a group of "Travelers" enter the 21st century on a mission to avert disaster.

I have to start off by saying, 'Thank you Netflix" for another surprising interesting series. So, my wife knows I love anything that has to do with time travel and dream interpretation. With that said, she told me I have to watch this series but take your time and let it build on you. I was like, eh, we'll see. Surprisingly, this is what I got. This series opened up with multiple instances of people dying. Theres an on screen count down of time of death and it looks like they die. All of a sudden the time is reversed on a positive side. Numbers going forward. We don't know what happened, but they seem to be different people now. Its still a mystery what just occurred, but these characters go back to their life and begin communicating via the dark net (the internet but with cryptic code. These communications are picked up at the FBI believing they are terrorist communications. We see one agent go from house to house trying to speak to these people with no real answers. When he finally gets a good lead at where this group that has been communicating on the web are meeting up. The FBI finally catches up to these changed people and they let him know that he was going to be killed by a criminal and throw down an elevator shaft. But before he can get some real answers, his count down to his death starts and I'm like .... WTH??!!! But now we understand that all of these people who have changed are inhabited by the consciousness of other people from the future. Their former selves are gone with a hint of what they were but mostly gone. What we know about these characters are they're specialist from the future. The main characters are:

Eric McCormack as Grant MacLaren (Traveler 3468), the team's leader who assumes the life of an FBI special agent
MacKenzie Porter as Marcy Warton (Traveler 3569), the team's medic who assumes the life of an intellectually disabled woman.
Nesta Cooper as Carly Shannon (Traveler 3465), the team's tactician who assumes the life of a stay-at-home single mother.
Jared Abrahamson as Trevor Holden (Traveler 0115), the team's engineer who assumes the life of a high school athlete.
Reilly Dolman as Philip Pearson (Traveler 3326), the team's historian who assumes the life of a college-aged heroin addict.

As all of these characters come together for missions to save their future. The team lets us know there is chaos that occurred in the future and we are not quit sure what went on but we know that because of a chatostophic event, it changed what the future becomes. What we also find out is there's someone called the Director that gives out orders through random people he takes over by moving his consciousness to them and speaks to the teams. What you find is there are multiple travelers on different missions and their directives are not to interact with each other unless authorized. Our main characters seemed to be the rebels of all the travelers and they keep breaking protocol to do what they want to. One traveler keeps her baby thats not hers, another helps others that are going to die thus creating new time lines. And another is trying to not be in a relationship but can't help it. Eric McCormack does a good job with his crew of unknown actors and they do a good job distinguishing who they are through out the series.

The fact that these Travelers are constantly breaking protocol makes this series a lot more interesting than others. Their moral compass strays them towards compassion and normalcy. As opposed to the others that either want to just live in the past cleanly and happily or follow the directors request and do as they are told. But this is where things take a turn. During an almost botched mission that suppose to change the future for the good. The team finds they are still alive and their consciousness is still in the present. But we don't know what happens in the future (which becomes something different since they changed time). But we find their is a alternate black ops travelers group who is reeling against the directors orders. The Traveler team now has to combat them as well as the FBI and wait on orders from the director to assign them a new mission. The story comes up with some good secondary story lines with these travelers and we feel for them and the families that have no idea that these people aren't their loved ones and friends. Be prepared it drags at times and redundant with digging too deep into the past of some of these Travelers but a pretty good show thats is slated for a second season.

So once again Netflix, Thanks for getting me away from my satellite TV programming and possibly getting rid of it in a year or two.
