Continuum: Season One [Blu-ray]

The Best Series Of The Year To Emanate From North America! (Canada) SyFy/Time Travel & Rachel Nichols Rocks! "Trust The Tech!"
MINOR SPOILERS:

I have been checking Amazon several times per week since I finished watching this fall. Still I got beat out of offering the first review. Kudos!

Plot: (not much is offered, so I am doing some editing from other sources, to give a better sense of what the program is about) Full credit to Wiki

""When a group of rebels convicted as terrorists escape execution by fleeing from the year 2077 to 2012, Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols), a future Vancouver law enforcement officer (called Protector), is involuntarily transported with them. In order to track the terrorists down and keep them from changing the past (and presumably future), Kiera joins the 2012 Vancouver Police Department and uses the skills of a young tech expert, Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen), to both track the Liber8 agents' pasts and provide her with the necessary information and contacts to operate in the present despite her lack of official credentials."

Finally, Some Good Sci-Fi on SyFy!
So far I've seen the first two episodes of Continuum on SyFy and am really enjoying it! After losing Fringe this show is now my weekly sci-fi fix! Thankfully The SyFy Channel in the US picked up this solid time travel/science fiction series, everyone in Canada has already had the chance to watch season 1. The beautiful Rachel Nichols is convincing as Kiera Cameron, the Protector (a regular cop) from the future, who's been thrust back in time 60 years chasing a bunch of terrorists. She switches easily between the hard edge of one aspect of her life to the softness of her off-duty persona, a real person and mother. She has enough depth and complexity of character to makes her appealing and interesting, and has awesome tech. I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the season, discovering more about her geeky/brilliant friend and voice in her head Alec Sadler, her officer partner Carlos and how all of the relationships evolve. Who really are the bad guys? I think the answers...

The most politically relevant show on TV.
Continuum is a well written show with enough suspense to keep you interested, enough plot twists to keep you guessing, and enough political relevance to keep you questioning and thinking. The premise is very interesting. A group of terrorists travel back in time to try to win the future, but they are followed by a cop from the future as well who is hell bent on stopping them. Here's the catch though, the terrorists aren't fighting a holy war. They are fighting for freedom. As part of the group Liberate, they fight against the corporate take over of America, a theme very relevant today. The real problem with them is their methods. They are incredibly violent and kill people to seek their ends. This is where Kiera Cameron, the cop from the future comes in. She has really cool tech from the future that helps her stop the bad guys, but in the future it really helps her fellow cops oppress the people to serve the corporate government. Kiera, however, became a cop, or Protector as they are...
