Continuum

Corporate Super Cop Hit Woman.... vs Anti-Corporate Thugs. The heroin- loving mother, pretty, smart, compassionate, SS style super Cop. Product of Corporate America. The Villains- The Evil, brutal, heartless thugs, who oppose Corporate control... OF COURSE... Opposition to the almighty Corporation has left any actual cause buried far behind the blood lust and brutality. What first appears as Dark Satire, shows itself as quite different once you pay attention. Corporate Future World... Happy little boy, just wants mommy to read him a bedtime story. Those who oppose Corporate control.. Cruel, heartless, and EVIL... even went as far as to mimic the 9/11 trade tower attack, as the outcome of ant-corporation activism. Nice Message for the more impressionable younger viewers..... Very minor negativity shown in the Corporate Future World, except the anti-corporation revolutionaries. This is not SATIRE... it is just one little step in gaining corporate allies. I like the show, I hate to say, BUT I can't help but notice, That it is promoting a very EVIL agenda.... under the guise of SATIRE

This show is my favorite scifi since Fringe ended, except where Fringe had a weak 1st season, I was absorbed by Continuum immedlately - It is one of several of new waves of scifi-esque shows but it does everything well!



I'll agree with some of the other reviewers that the anti-corporation ideology can be a little thick...



Other than that one criticism, I have only great things to say about Continuum! The acting is top-shelf compared to other scifis (cough, Defiance), the story is moving along at quite a brisk pace - they don't lean on the procedural 'criminal-of-the-week' near as much as most other shows (even Fringe did it more).



My only hope is that they continue to explore the other timelines, or at least discuss timetravel and the future as the show goes on. Liber8 seems to be failing but I have no doubt there will be more depth by the end of the season :D

I really wanted to like this show. The espoused ideology and the over the top portrayals of psychopathic anti-corporatists is patently ridiculous though and really, assuming "freedom fighters" from the future are evil nutjob psycho's is it really that hard to kill one cop... At least its not as mind numbingly-dumb as "Revolution". I only made it through a 1/2 the first season, so maybe it gets better...

When I saw this show in 2012, it seemed to me one of the best sci-fi of the past years. The drop in quality in the second season is huge, but perhaps will improve. I like Rachel Nichols a lot, but some of other actors are even better.

The Sci-Fi part is getting a little bit dim. But it''s a better series than the rest that are on tight now (Defiance?)

Just to be clear, this TV series is written by wild-eyed, left wing, socialist liberals. But that aside, it is a great time travel story. The good guys and the bad guys don't really make much sense. Corporations take over the world, but they have created a Congress to do so. And, oh yes, there is lots of regulation. Clearly, whoever wrote this has never set on a board for anything. But, like a lot of the radical stuff on TV today, I can get past it and still have fun. This is a good one.

Most Sci Fy shows don't last long anymore, a sad thing, even the scify channel is mostly dumb shows these days. I am glad their is still one good scyfy show that has survived. I really like it, my biggest fear was it wouldn't come back for a second season. I love it. I am a dire hard fan and I want to see it last many season!

the best sci-fi for this year until now

Good, Bad we may never know I guess you can decide for yourself, and it seems the writers have solved the grandfather paradox or I should say grandmother paradox. Its another cop fans I think are ready for more space adventure not earthly dilemma. I myself am done with cop shows. To make sarcasm clear on the time paradox if he didn't die this everything they do is moot. I will be waiting for Netflix to release the second season purchasing it on Vudu or disc will be out of the question I really hope they clear up there time paradox in the next season, in which Im surprised it got when firefly got one.

WooHoo! First S2 Ep. was Awesome. Have been looking forward to this for quite some time! :-)

by far the best sci-fi show for a long time on tv after farscape

" On August 25, Showcase officially renewed Continuum for a second season of 13 episodes[2] to premiere on April 21, 2013 (Showcase, Canada) and June 7, 2013 (Syfy, 3] The series is currently airing in the . on



From the Wiki.

Keep checking to find out when season 2 starts.

Waiting in anticipation.

Come on, don't keep us in suspense, lets get it on.

Hurry up, Damn it!

this show to be back. it's supposed to air april it actually will.

Very good show when it was on hmmmmmmmmmm

Pull your finger out and please let us know when its back on!

This is a great show, but the writers need to find a way back and forth where she can almost get home but, darn it, too late again! The cop partner, needs to fall for her, then find out her secret, unrequited show rocks, hope to see it blossom.

It seem this show already aired in canada and the just got the first episode last monday.

Any how so far it seems promising.

It has some corny lines and the production and writing i hope will improve. We shall c.

Lately syfy channel has been releasing some low quality, cheap production type of series.

Ever since bsg, caprica, there hasn't been acting and writing quality since those shows has been canceled.

It seems it's all about magic and campy type shows. Merlin not a big fan, lost girl doesn't really crab my attention and that other genetically enhanced people really crab me neither.



my score for now is 6.5 and hopefully it will go up from there. Come on canadians.

Great show. Totally enjoyed it.

I haven't enjoyed watching a show that much for a long time.

First there is Rachel Nichols whom I first saw in the last season of Alias where she did a pretty good job with a role that was not easy. Then she kind went off the radar except some small roles like in Charly Wilson's war. And I thought it was a waste. And at last she is given the lead. And she doesn't disappoint. She is really great as Kiera Cameron.

Second the predicament of the show is really interesting and as so much potential. It's just up to the writers to exploit it.

And lastly, the show questions the fundamentals of our society. And Kiera is right in the middle of this questioning with no clue about what is right or wrong.

It's been too long! Everyone will forget what the show was about, before it comes back on. Come on guys, get your finger out & finish the season - at least!

When I first heard about this show, I went online to look for more info in order to find out if it was worth watching - my favorite series were between seasons, so I was hunting around for possible replacements. Based on the first reviews on this site, I gave it up. They were mixed and confusing, not very helpful. Then, in a moment of desperation, I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised. I've seen the whole season 1 already and I think it was actually pretty good. The premise of time travel isn't new, but there's a twist to it: the leading character, Kiera, is some kind of cop who works for the corporations that took over the government in the future. There'a a feeling of totaliarianism in the air, a touch of George Orwell's "1984". And that's the most intriguing thing about it: if Kiera is supposedly our "hero" why is she working for the "bad guys"? An interesting question, which was not entirely answered in the first season, but to which we were given small clues: Kiera's joining the terrorists' trip through time wasn't as random as it first seemed. Also, I think the ramifications of changing the past are being dealt with nicely.

I think the acting is OK, not as bad as people claim. There are some occasionally cheesy dialogues, which could be passable if they weren't delivered with a very unimaginative choice of songs (oh, there are a few irritating video clips in the end of the episodes, but since this is one of my pet peeves, it is probably OK with a lot o people). The effects are usually bad; I hope the budget or creativity of the people responsible for it improves. The future takes place in 2077 , so it is a 65-year time difference in relation to our time, which makes the advances in technology seem a bit too big for such a small amount of time, honestly. On the other hand, I think they make sense in the plot, so they're acceptable. All in all, a series that stands out and is promising and I'm definitely looking forward to its second season.

I had some high hopes, but both the lines as written, and the delivery as acted... are a bit camp. I've only seen the first few episodes and I'm already 100% behind the 'bad guys' and hoping they win. It's pretty bad when you're not rooting for the main character in a series.

Well, i' ll go out and say it. I don't like this one. When i first read the plot i thought it was pretty interesting, being a science fiction fan myself but after two episodes (i know it's not much but i just don't like at all and i want to watch so many other already acknowledged and very good shows) i totally turned off by the really bad acting especially from Rachel Nichols and the convenient events happening all the time to progress the plot. That's that, then moving on to other things. . Is anyone really annoyed by that pimple below Rachel Nichols' right eye? :P

Wants another stargate or bsg

When I saw the first episode I had high hopes that this would be my fringe replacement but after watching the second episode yesterday I realized that its not to be. I really don't like the way it's going and the acting is pretty bad.

Don't you just love how SyFy calls this an "original" show when it's already aired in full in another country.



Still, good show.

Thank God for the Internet. I have the opportunity to watch shows even if they are not aired here in the States.

I really hope it as good as I anticpate it will looking forward to the US premiere! Cannot wait for Contuum and Defiance!

Love the show. I didn't expect to because the older I get, the more demanding I become with the sci-fi genre on the whole. Used to be, gimme some cool spaceships, a few explosions, or a hot, tri-breasted Matian prostitute & I was pefectly happy. Now, not so much. Most sci-fi I simply can't get into anymore because all they have to offer are some cool spaceships, a few explosions & maybe an occasional hot, tri-breasted Martian prostitute.



I haven't been pumped over a sci-fi show since The 4400 & BSG, so seven episodes into Continuum so far and I'm a very happy geek.



The show has it's flaws, but it's nice to get sucked into a good story without getting constantly distracted by effects and production values (as I'm prone to do)



If you've been hearing some of the hype around the show & thinking about watching it for a while as I have, Trust me. Go ahead & stop thinking about it & just do it.



I found that it's very much worth spending the time on.

I watched the whole season one. This is an excellent series which without showing crime, blood, and other disasters absorbs people. The whole season one is strongly connected. The best scene for me is in the last episode which Kiera understood that she was wrong and she acted wrong. The whole new society lie to her and to other people such that they cannot think correctly.
