Underrated movie which manage even with low budget to propose one of the best science-fiction story of the 21st century. Yeah, for once there is politics in it like mr robot. And why not?

I really wanted to like this show. It started so promising but got way too political.

**Score: 9/10 — A Smart, Tense, and Triumphantly Concluded Sci-Fi Gem** In the precarious landscape of television sci-fi, *Continuum* stands as a rare and rewarding success story: a show with a complex, high-stakes premise that not only survived but was granted the precious gift of a **satisfying, deliberate, and mind-bending conclusion.** This is a series that trusted its audience's intelligence, embraced the inherent politics of its world, and delivered a consistently thrilling narrative that earns its place among the genre's most underrated triumphs. **A Believable World, Political by Necessity:** The premise is deceptively straightforward yet rich with conflict: Protector Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), a law-enforcement officer from a corporatocratic 2077, is thrown back in time to present-day Vancouver alongside a group of anti-corporate terrorists ("Liber8") she was tasked to stop. What unfolds is a masterclass in moral complexity. The show's greatest strength is its refusal to offer easy villains. Kiera's future is a dystopia of surveillance and control; Liber8's methods are monstrous, but their rage against the machine is often tragically justified. To those who say it got **"too political,"** the series offers a robust retort: **The world *IS* a political place.** *Continuum* wove corporate influence, privacy erosion, social unrest, and the ethics of revolution directly into its DNA. This didn't detract from the sci-fi; it **added to its realism** and gravitas. The struggle wasn't just about stopping a bomb; it was about preventing—or perhaps irrevocably setting in motion—a terrifyingly plausible future. **The story was totally believable** because it was rooted in the extrapolation of our own societal trajectories. **A Legacy of Satisfying Payoff:** While the journey had its share of network-imposed detours, the final season is a masterstroke. The showrunners, aware of their endpoint, deftly tied together temporal paradoxes, character arcs, and philosophical questions into a finale that is both emotionally resonant and intellectually daring. It provides closure not with a simple victory, but with a profound meditation on sacrifice, causality, and the price of a "better" world. In an era of abrupt cancellations, this alone makes *Continuum* a treasure. **The Verdict:** *Continuum* is a brilliantly executed, thought-provoking thrill ride. It features a compelling lead performance, a superb ensemble (with special praise for Victor Webster and Erik Knudsen), and some of the most intelligently handled time-travel mechanics on television. It dared to be politically engaged, morally ambiguous, and fiercely ambitious right up to its perfect end. A must-watch for any sci-fi fan who craves a story with brains, heart, and the courage to follow its own convictions to a truly satisfying conclusion. **Watch if:** You love complex time-travel narratives, morally gray characters, cyberpunk aesthetics, and stories that engage with real-world political and corporate power. **Skip if:** You prefer clear-cut heroes and villains, apolitical sci-fi, or purely action-driven plots. This is a show for thinkers.

**Solid series.** This is a decent sci-fi time-travel series and i enjoyed it. It was mostly set in the present, but increasingly told the story of the future. Lots of twists and turns, but there are times when it's a bit slow, and a few things could have been better thought out as there were a few loose ends and some inconsistencies. For the most part it's decent, but i don't think I'll watch it again. In case you're wondering it does have a conclusion so your commitment isn't wasted.
