Fans of Connie Willis and Dr. Who, take note: here’s a
madcap time-travel adventure series with just enough grit to keep the stakes
high. In this universe, time travel has been invented and is kept top-secret,
used only by highly-trained historians to verify historical accounts and fill
in gaps in the record. At least that’s the theory. The problem is, there’s
another lot out there, they’re ruthless, and they’re in it purely for the
profit. And they want to wipe St. Mary’s out.
Our heroine, Max, is an historian in the same sense that
Indiana Jones is an archaeologist. She’s also tough, snarky, and sadly
accident-prone—in fact, the rate at which disasters ensue whenever *any* of
the historians travel to the past seems really alarming, even considering the
delicacy and complexity inherent in that activity.
Eventually the reason becomes clear: there’s a band of rival
time-travelers who are interested in nothing about time travel except the
potential for profit… and for settling an old score.
This is exactly the sort of thing I would binge-watch if it
were a TV series (and I wouldn’t be surprised if it became one). Thoroughly
enjoyable.
