A large town has mysterious repeated incidents the residents try to figure out.

It starts strong but gets weak and weird. Recommended for people who like reality and time-related stuff.

A misfit member of an organization of time travelers flubs a trip and yanks a kid from 1982 back in time.

It's an odd combination of brains and bubblegum; well-acted, fast-and-loose and interesting.

Time travelers recruit an everyman to help save their world.

Crude and un-funny.

Hundreds of years from now, surviving humans discover how to send consciousness back through time, into people of the 21st century, while attempting to change the path of humanity.

Kinda not bad.

A cop from an authoritarian future is caught up in a daring time-travel jail-break, to become stranded in present-day Vancouver Canada.

Overall this is adequate, but with several plot points and character traits which are difficult to believe. The biggest problem I have is the various brushes against citizen-terrorism apologetics. My takeaway is that this show is "safe", with some edginess fabricated for the kids.

The last of a powerful race tours time and space, regularly ending up in trouble.

Playful fun. Occasionally attempts to glide past some significant issues with time travel but is generally bubblegum. Doesn't take itself too seriously. Recommended until it goes woke.
