Maybe this show should have gone to Netflix or another service, if only someone could go back in time and change that. However, again where both of these elements have fallen down is that they have all been filtered through a network and in case you missed it the least relevant shows are on networks. Secondly bringing in a director, Neil Marshall, who is a film director to set the show up with a look and feel that can be followed through on with other directors who have a blueprint. Firstly the show has cast up with new faces in lead roles as well as experienced character actors in support roles which assists giving the overall plot some kind of believability for the audience to hang onto in the more fantastic elements while exposing relatively new actors to events in the place of the audience. To combat this the producers have upped to elements within the show through casting as well as who directed the first two episodes. However what has occurred is that both their sensibilities have been run through the corporate machine as well as network television to offer a show that is actually a little dull and hardly noticeable apart from all the other network shows on air. The automatic reaction would be that they would bring their strengths to bear creating something with an edge, that was had a narrative set up over each week and would be original as well as within the zeitgeist. It is not difficult to see why this show came into existence with two creators who have both has immense success with their own projects, Eric Kripke with the long running “Supernatural” (2004-2019) and Shaun Ryan who broke through with his genre busting “The Shield” (2002-2008), it may have seemed like an odd marriage but both had their strengths.
They soon learn, however, that the thief plans to rewrite American history, and that each of them has a connection to his plan, as well as the mysterious organization that funded the machine’s development. The broad outline of the show is based around the idea of an experimental time machine which is stolen, a history professor, a soldier and an engineer are tasked with capturing the culprit.
ACTORS IN TIMELESS TV SHOW SERIES
One aspect that I believed did hurt it was its tone was very middle of the road so that it did not have any kind of edge to it, so it had to rely on the actors to provide that which because of the nature of the show they were unable to, which again cost the series in ratings as well as reviews. None of these elements are negatives, in fact in another era “Timeless” may have broken through and lasted much longer than two seasons but it did not have enough to seperate it from other new or exiting shows.
Of course the most obvious comparison is to the 1960s series “The Time Tunnel” (1966-1967) which operated in a similar way albeit without the underlying conspiracy story cribbed from “The X-Files” (1993-2018). It is easy to see why this show was a little lost in terms of finding an audience, it was on a major network in NBC, on the surface it seemed like a throwback to series from the 1980s and 1990s and the sheer competition in terms of scripted shows is huge, the year this was released it was one of over four hundred and fifty scripted series. Released this week on both blu-ray and DVD is the relatively short lived science fantasy show “Timeless” (2016-2018), at least the first season anyway.
