Today's review is
Continuum
Status: Season 2 finished
Quick tip: Don't try to classify the factions as "good" or "bad," but the main characters are likeable and you are rooting for them. Don't expect the well constructed plot to hold up in later seasons though.
The main lady [I don't remember her name] is basically a policeperson from the future sent back to present day along with some terrorists who want to end the corporate run government. She is supported by a (non retarded/ somewhat believable) nerd and her (sexy) police partner. (The main lady is sexy too, but when is a female lead not?)
Fairly original as far as these things go, and it tends to make sense. The concatenation of present an future works well, and is done in a way that doesn't confuse the viewer. It is also nice to see a computer nerd portrayed in a [relativity] believable manner. You don't see him pecking away at the keyboard trying to hack the NSA [Hello PRISIM!] or have stupid long winded technobabble that is such complete bullshit that you want to punch someone. Take note future script writers, no one wants some bullshit nonsense as to how things work, just a quick and vague one sentence description to set the parameters, and then back to the story.
The end of season 2 didn't make much sense, and makes me think that the series wasn't preplanned. If this is the case, there is really no recovery and it will go downhill until it gets LOST, but the first season is quite good, and I will watch season 3 in hopes of continued goodness.
Rating: 4/5 stars.
Watch it on netflix.
