Timeless combines two of my favorite aspects of Science Fiction, Time Travel and Alternate History into a stunning adventure that can literally take you from one dramatically different time period to another, in the blink of an eye. I majored in History, with a focus on American History, and this show has even taught me a thing or two. Each episode is a trip to another era of American history, that is both exciting and educational. As time goes on, the chemistry is clear, as it's their differences that brings them together, and makes them such an effective team. During the first few episodes, it's difficult to see how such a strange trio would work well together. The team that goes after Flynn is made up of a soldier, a historian, and another tech genius. In response, with the help of Homeland Security, and the small original prototype of the machine, Mason puts together a team with the goal of stopping Flynn and protecting history at all costs. This could of course do irreparable damage to the timeline, leaving us all in a world we wouldn't recognize. Flynn plans to stop this donor from succeeding with their evil plans, by erasing them from time. Learning of these plans, an NSA whistle blower, with nothing to lose, Garcia Flynn (Goran Visnjic) steals the machine. His mysterious donors however, have other more nefarious plans for the machine. His goal is to explore where we came from, so hopefully we won't make the mistakes and learn where we're going. With the help of a mysterious donor, tech genius, Connor Mason (Paterson Joseph), has developed a time machine. A devoted cult following managed to keep it alive for a second season and wrap up movie, but with all it had to offer, this show should have gone far beyond that. With Timeless is one of those shows that was so ahead of it's time, that it was largely unappreciated for just how good it was.
