I really enjoyed it. Yes it does wrap up with "all are punished".

If you're enjoying this you'd enjoy Travellers on Netflix if you've not seen it. That was wrapped up in a satisfying way (I have now added Continuum to my TBW list).

Actually Bodies on Netflix would also very much be your jam, I was thinking about that as a recommendation off the back of the Dark Matter discussion we need to schedule.

I did enjoy Netflix Travellers, excellent recommendations. Even better now you can binge watch the whole thing rather than waiting for the next season to drop (and wonder if it would get another season).

Travellers is so good. Genuinely great characters and the writing is tight. I was actually pretty satisfied with the ending. And the parachute episode is peak TV and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

I stopped watching Travellers because it got cancelled and I assumed the story was left hanging.

It got cancelled but they managed to wrap it up; you can tell that the final season went in a different direction to what they had planned, but nothing was left hanging, it's worth finishing.

Yeah what Elana said. It was a good ending. Well, I liked it anyway.

A hearty recommend for this one. The moral angle is the most interesting and is really well handled. As I watched it I thought of the phrase I first came across in Good Omens that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"

Canadian TV is vastly underrated: Orphan Black, Lost Girl, Being Erica, Killjoys.

Will add this to the list. Glad I’m retired and don’t play golf.

Eliana is spot on with respect to Travellers being good.
