Sorry, I don't feel it needs quantified. Five randomly decided he knew the equations to get "back" to present time, even though he had been time travelling for what? Five decades? But then once he got back in the "right" time he could afford a holiday"back" into the future to work for the company and affect things in the past only to then insert himself back into OUR present instead of further back into the past with the knowledge he already had of how our heroes were going to react to Father's death.... No. I'm not going to get into it. The show is ABSOLUTELY FINE if you don't get into it too deep. Just agree with me here or present YOUR canonical thesis on how the time travel "works".

Umm... didn't he clearly have a conversation in like episode 3 or something where he said his longest relationship was with a dude? Anywho, the time travel was nonsense lets be honest all time travel is.

Now that I've actually finished the show, I've mellowed out on my "this isn't very good" stance. I still think the characters actions aren't empathetic (dear god Luther what the actual fuck) and it shamelessly rips off other stories (you telling me White Violin isn't just Dark Willow ya?) but... the shamelessness of it is kinda appealing. The time travel shit makes no sense, don't even try to approach it with anything but a suspension of disbelief. And other minor gripes. Would I recommend it? I'll still lean No to be honest. You'd be better spending your time on I dunno, Watchmen or something. Will I watch Season 2? For sure. Need to know the actual deal with the Dad now.

Reminiscent of Heroes (great premise, execution not so great) or Sons Of Anarchy (no real "good" guys to root for yet can't stop watching), I CANNOT, and WILL NOT, recommend this show however, if you have had the muted displeasure of watching it.... what did you think?
