A coal miner survives an apocalypse, but his struggles are only beginning.

A drug addict is swept up into extremely high stakes modelling.

The constant time travel is annoying as fuck, but it’s a requirement for it. I don’t like that part of things, but it’s otherwise quite good.

To dispose of bodies, criminal enterprises send people back in time to kill them. For some reason.

A boy is saved by a mob man, and becomes an assassin as repayment only to become embroiled in the crime world.

Gentle and moody. A little cheesy and a little lame, but I still like it a lot.

Good story, pacing, and acting.
