Did anyone else watch this show? It premiered in 2016 and ran for two seasons before it was cancelled. However the fanbase was so vocal the network decided to make sure that the series had a proper two-part finale. I own this on Amazon (I bought it on one of the Prime Days for $3 a season) and have never regretted it.

Timeless is streaming on Hulu though.

What can I say about this series? Well other than I just watched it for the fourth time and I think the fifth time is about to start smile

The time-travel effects have a few plot holes in them... but the show's writers tried to fill them. For example changes to the timeline do not take effect until the time travelers returned from the past. And return trips are planned quite a few hours after the departure because meeting yourself causes bad things to happen smile

But other than a few plot holes, I loved this series. Why? It has it all. Villains who have a well thought out backstory. Who think they are doing the right thing. Heroes who are trying to stop them. Romance. Mystery. Time Travel. A mysterious journal from one of the heroes given to the villains...

Timeless also takes lesser known historical figures, as well as well known ones, and truly makes them shine.

So... has anyone else watched it? If not, give it a go.

Gypsy, it is on Hulu, hopefully over there as well. It really is worth a watch (or 5) smile

Gypsy, have you considered one of the virtual networks that are out there?? One of the things they can do is make it look like you are somewhere else <g>

We don't have anything over here that works well enough to consider. Tusk has been researching recently so we can keep up with Strictly whilst in Australia. rolleyes

It doesn't need to be 'there'. You connect to the server from your net and they 'relay' your traffic to the 'target' site as if it originated ... from where ever you want.

Mike is referring to VPNs and their services. They are certainly useful for a variety of reasons.

I use a VPN every single day, and more so when I travel.

Love them!

They can present issues sometimes, but for 95% of the time they make my life better!

Tusk has just sorted out VPN for our trip to get the extra security and we are discovering how much more it can do! Thanks guys! grin
