OK, before I get too deep into this review, I must admit I haven't made it through all three seasons of Netflix's Travelers. However, I'm pretty sure Shawn has almost taken down the entire 34-episode run.
But I'm well into this great sci-fi show, which debuted here in Canada as a Showcase and Netflix co-production back in 2016. Netflix picked the series up for a third season, and seasons two and three dropped on Friday.
This is probably a good time to plug our upcoming interview with Travelers co-star and all around cool Kamloops-born gal Leah Cairns. You'll hear it this weekend on Radio NL and our extended-cut podcast.
As for Travelers, this is a fun and well written series that doesn't rely on a ton of special effects to make it work. It doesn't have to. This is as much about the characters as it is the action and science fiction.
The show is about Travelers from the future who come to the present to prevent a number of world-ending disasters. The catch? They inhabit the bodies of people seconds before their deaths, and have to assume their lives . . . without knowing a thing about them.
See how this can get messy?
Eric McCormick of Will & Grace fame plays FBI agent Grant MacLaren, who leads our team of time travelling heroes. Cairns plays his wife. In fact, the entire cast and crew is 100 per cent Canadian, which makes this series extra special.
Let's be realistic: most Canadian shows aren't that good, especially ones that try to dabble in this genre. But Travelers is well written and acted, not to mention a lot of fun to watch. So far each season has ended with a doozy of cliffhanger. I'm pretty sure Season Three will do the same.
Like I said, I haven't watched all three seasons yet, but I like what I've seen so far. And I can vouch for Shawn when I say he watched Season One three times while waiting for the next two seasons to drop, so he's a huge fan.
This show rates a Good, and we encourage everyone to check it out and ensure a Season Four.
