kempanthony Seasons one and two worked well. Cross between detective and science fiction. Season three had a team of new writers and would be the reason for the show being cancelled. Sadly, it lost continuity. No pun intended. It became an episode to episode series with poor direction and non believable dialogue due to unempathetic script writing and totally incongruous story lines.It definitely lost its way. Shame.

lhouraii-23200 It started off pretty good, but by the last 2 seasons I was only watching just to find out what happened.The lead character is VERY unlikable by the end, with little to no character growth. The writers on this show had 2 'plot shockers' that they would use over and over:1: Father reveals "I am your father", "He is my father", "You are my father" 2: Bad character turns good = instant deathIn the end, the only 2 characters I actually liked were Alec and Travis - the rest could have dropped death and I wouldn't care.I would not suggest anyone watches this, as the last 2 seasons seriously ruin the whole show.Also (MAJOR SPOILER) - at the end, when she finally gets back to her precious son (that I guarantee no one watching cares about)... he's not the one she left but she's happy? The one she left, the ones she loves, is still growing up motherless in a corporate future... but she's happy? Yeah, that totally makes sense.Basically, the whole point of the show is that she goes back to stop the bad future from happening... but she didn't. She just got sent to a better future, leaving everyone she loved in the dust. The bad future never got changed, it still happened - just in a different timeline to what she ends up in. I feel weird giving this 5 stars, but I did enjoy it at first... in the end it's just 'meh' and I'll probably forget about this show by the end of today.

daved-06551 Continuum is an example of a perfect mix of cast and plot. It is clear from the first through the last episodes what the main plot of the series is. While I do not wish to reveal a major SPOILER, I will say that there is little doubt that the story goes full circle.I watched the show on Netflix, so I was able to watch all the episodes within a matter of a couple of weeks. I looked forward to the next show and was not disappointed by any of them.Strengths: Many, including cast, story line, action, relationships, cop story, crime, and unexpected twists.Weaknesses: The series should have run another season so we could see how everyone's individual story line finished. Of course, this is not reality, but a dream of sorts.I highly recommend this series, although it is clearly not for the young.

yo-marcelo-jeje It really did, jumped the shark i mean, somewhere along season three. Most probably towards the seasons end. It gives me the impression that they didn't think a second season would ascend from that enjoyable first one. Only it did. And a third one came after it too. I say this because it is almost evident that by the third season they were improvising so that everything ended up kind of almost making sense, but quite not really.They managed to needlessly over complicate the plot to create more interest i guess, but exactly the opposite occurred. We started loosing our interest.A shame. It was a very promising sci-fi show
