Summary

Welcome to the 21st! Your mission is to listen to us discuss “Travelers”, an enjoyable time-travel TV series available in most of the world on Netflix. With a twisty science-fictional premise, some fascinating character complications, and a dose of humor, this Canadian import is worth your time. We discuss the basic premise of the show and why we like it a lot, and then fire off the Spoiler Horn to discuss the details of the show’s first two seasons.

I'm your host Jason Snell, and in this episode, we are going to be talking about a television show.

0:17.2

It's one of those.

But everywhere else, it's on Netflix. It is a science fiction series from Brad Wright, who is one of the co-creators of Stargate-SG-1,

1:11.5

and it is a show that I had never heard of.
