A secret team successfully creates a time machine, but a hunted mercenary comes in and steals the the time machine and the project leader. In order to stop him, Lucy, a history professor, Wyatt, a soldier, and Rufus, a time machine driver, travel back in time to make sure he doesn't rewrite history.
The show takes us on magnificent but frightening adventures. We go to the Hindenburg crash, Lincoln's assassination, JFK's scandalous mistress, James Bond's creator Sir Ian Fleming, the Alamo, and, recently, the Nixon tapes. But every time, some small thing changes and Flynn gets away.
This show is a dark, twisted take on Back to the Future mixed with Quantum Leap, but they are not stuck in a time period. Every time something changes, it changes the future. When the show opened up, Lucy's mother is dying of cancer, her father is gone and her sister is taking care of her mother. At the end of the first episode, her mother is fine, her father is still gone, but her sister doesn't exists. To make it more interesting, Lucy now has a fiancée; she never met him before in her life.
Halfway through the current season a society called Rittenhouse. They apparently controlled everything since the birth of the United States, but not much is told about them. But all Flynn wants to be rid of them.
I'm getting a little bored of this roller coaster story. Flynn takes off. They go after them. He wants something. They do everything they can to make sure that doesn't happen. But Flynn gets away. It's can be a great way to have a history lesson, but it shows the dangers of one of the biggest science dreams ever conceived by man. I have little hope that this show will make it to it second season.
You can watch it on Mondays at 10 pm on NBC.
