Every episode begins with the plot of the show narrated by a voiceover from the point of view of Kiera Cameron.
2077. My time, my city, my family. When terrorists killed thousands of innocents, they were condemned to die. They had other plans. A time travel device sent us all back 65 years. I want to get home but I can't be sure what I will return to if history is changed. Their plan, to corrupt and control the present in order to win the future. What they didn't plan on was me!
City Protective Services (CPS) law enforcement officer Kiera Cameron (Rachel Nichols) lives a quiet, normal life with her husband and son in 2077-era Vancouver. Under the corporatocratic and oligarchic dystopia of the North American Union and its "Corporate Congress", life goes on in apparent freedom under a technologically advanced high-surveillance police state.
When a group of anarcho-socialist self-proclaimed freedom fighters known as "Liber8" escape execution by fleeing to the year 2012, Kiera is involuntarily transported with them into the past. Joining with Detective Carlos Fonnegra (Victor Webster) and the Vancouver Police Department, and enlisting the help of teen computer genius Alec Sadler (Erik Knudsen), Kiera works to track down and thwart Edouard Kagame (Tony Amendola) and his followers in the present day while concealing her identity as a time-traveller from the future.
Kagame and the members of Liber8 plot to alter the past to avert the rise of what they see as a dictatorial and Orwellian corporate regime to be stopped at all costs. Meanwhile, Kiera learns that Alec is none other than Alec Sadler, future corporate mogul and head of SadTech, one of the mega-corporations that dominate the world in 2077.
Fighting to return home to her family, Kiera finds that her presence in 2012, and that of the members of Liber8, may be no accident at all.
Time travel[edit]
Throughout the series, multiple theories are suggested as to the nature of time travel and its effect on the timeline of events leading from 2012 to 2077.
In discussion with Kiera, Alec posits that his future self recalled his interactions with Kiera in the past, potentially inspiring the creation of his own cybernetic technology from her futuristic implants and equipment and leading to a "time loop" whereby conditions in 2077 cannot be altered. Otherwise, Alec and Kiera consider that Kiera and Liber8's presence in the past may have already altered the timeline and created a separate chain of events, and thus the state of the world in 2077 is no longer certain.
Evidence for each possibility is presented over the course of the series. Ultimately, the first season finale, "Endtimes", reveals that the elderly Alec Sadler orchestrated the time jump that sent Kiera and the members of Liber8 back in time and that he knew precisely what was to occur in 2012. At the start of the second season, the contents of a message sent from the 2077-era Alec to his younger self reveal that his apparent goal is to avert the corporate-dominated future that his actions and inventions created. It is, however, unclear whether this is possible and what implications it may have for the unfolding timeline; it is presently unclear if future-Alec has any memory of the events of 2013 since Kiera went to the past, although the fact that he appears to have been aware that Kiera would be in a position to meet himself -- implanting certain codes and messages in her suit and CMR -- along with his knowledge of the freelance time travelers that Kiera learned about during her time in the past, suggests that at least some version of the time-travel happened before.
Series creator and executive producer Simon Barry has confirmed that the creative staff have established a set of "rules" for the version of time travel depicted, which will be further explored as the series progresses.[7]

Opinion:

I just watched the first episode and... it was genius, worth it. I definitely recommend this show. If I weren't pushed into watching the first episode I probably would have never seen it, the trailer is cheesy at best and doesn't display the strengths of the show, it's well filmed, well written, has a good plot and it doesn't poke to many holes into time travel.

As a favor to this community I'm posting this thread, this show is of Canadian origin and is definitely not main stream enough, I truly don't understand why it hasn't garnered more attention.

I'd also like to say that the show is very imaginative and actually relatively accurate to what future technology should look like and more important social theory.

Thank you Canada!


WATCH THE SHOW, NOW, GO WATCH IT!

I'm sorry.
This show ( after watching 1-3 episodes don't remember) has nothing "genius", the plot is basic, nothing special, nothing interesting, quiet for youngers people.
Maybe after few episodes it gets better...

I'm sorry.but compared to everything else on TV right now... Pretty much.

It's basically on par with everything except for GoT, Breaking Bad and maybe one or two more series that currently don't spring to mind.

But fine if you think Glee, Arrow, Revenge or whatever everybody watches nowadays is better, fine...

And it obviously has many flaws, but it still deserves a lot more attention than it haa recieved.

I'm a fan of it. I'm anxiously awaiting the next season as I'm all caught up on Netflix.

Fringe is far better
Boardwalk empire too

Continuum is not " genius " maybe it's good, not much, GoT had a really slow third season.

Thanks for the recommendation! It sounds more interesting than the stuff I'm watching or catching up now (I already burned through most of the stuff that I liked -_-)

I still watch this show but it starts to get kind of shaky in season 2. I love the premise though - a really cool idea, but I don't think it's executed as good as it could be.

Season 1 was great, Season 2 not as good.
Awaiting Season 3 - hopefully Kagame returns.

Btw. OP how can you recommend a TV Show based on a single episode? Bad approach really..

So far I think the entire 2nd season has been pretty bland I think (up to episode 6); I can't remember, maybe there was a bit of interesting parts, but most of it seemed to be side-story things without particularly interesting plot events. Season 1 was great though, and season 2 isn't that bad.

It's great how I can just watch it right on Showcase's website for free.
I started watching the first season on television when it came to a local channel recently, and I set up a series recording, but midway through season 1 it just stopped, and I don't know if they changed the air time or what, but it was annoying so I just watched online which was an experience far better than I expected (torrenting or having to sign-in to something).

It was so easy for me to predict that girl Alec meets wasn't just a regular girl. Even when they first show her walking into the cafe in the distant unfocused background I suspected exactly what was up (which is maybe paranoid, but it was right). I would think in a realistic world, Alec would realize (or others would tell him) that anyone he meets would-be or should be suspect. I'd probably even say it's cliché to have a girl exploit a powerful guy pretending not to know much about him. Anyway, who's to say what happens to her, maybe she isn't bad or changes or something

Note, I still haven't gone past episode 6 yet though.
