I AM SO ANGRY I CANT BREATHE!
Okay pulling back up for a second... here’s the tea:
In two days I binge watched two seasons of one of the most fascinating, thought through and breathtaking shows, that got me invested in a way that I haven’t felt in a while. That sort of way when you truly feel how distinct the characters are, when the story flows so fluidly and the visuals sincere and unique, that you cant stop drinking it all in.
ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT IT HAS BEEN CANCELLED?! ON SUCH A CLIFFHANGER AT THE END OF THE SEASON???
HELL NO I AM NOT LETTING THIS GO
I am so happy that they at least got the chance to get a wrap up movie(which is premiering on December 6th)[edit: it was pointed out to me that it's in fact December 20th so I do apologise for my mistake, during my rush of anger and frustration I messed up the date ], but I think that it deserves so much more. Way much more. Plus even though I have a lot of faith in the writers of the show, I believe that it will be really difficult to tie up all the lose ends that were being hinted for the long run.
Let me be honest, I judge shows too harshly, I nitpick the characters to their cores, the dialogue, everything. But Timeless, for me, is one of those incredibly special shows that DOES EVERYTHING PERFECTLY!
Flawed heroes, diverse characters, intricate villains, smart and powerful women, secret organisations scattered through history, the whole package.
And I am absolutely devastated that I missed the time when I could have spoken out during the critical moments of the show being cancelled. But I hope that even this will help and spread the word. Because in the end, its never too late.
What would happen to the world as we know if someone invents a time-machine? What if there are two of them? When one of the time-machines gets stolen from a top secret facility by a terrorist who threatens to turn history inside out, an unlikely trio of a historian, a soldier and an engineer have to find a way to preserve history and take back the time-machine. The more they travel the more deeper and complicated things turn out to be... Is it okay to leave the historical monsters as they were, or change things to save lives? Is there more to the one who claims to be the villain? And more importantly what is Rittenhouse that hides in between the lines of history?
Just give it a go. I promise you will not be disappointed, especially if you are both a sci-fi fan and a history nerd at the same time(like me), lookin’ for some goddamn amazing writing and a quality tv series that will take up a treasured place in your heart forever.
If you do like it, tell your friends, family, shout it out at the top of your lungs, because this is not the time to be silent! Because there is still a chance!
