Interesting show. A little boring in places. Standard acting and writing but I liked its chutzpah in reworking old time travels tropes into something fresh. I especially liked the small role by the great director, David Cronenberg. His acting was probably the best in the bunch. I'm a big fan of his so getting to see him work in front of the camera instead of behind it was a big plus. The scene between him and the male lead was a well written scene, probably in no small part because of Cronenberg's casting. I doubt he would have done it if that scene was anything less than quality script. Only way this could have been picked up by Syfy is to have renamed it, "Timenado."

I had set my DVR to record the series not knowing it was a one shot deal. If they knew this up front, it was one lousy and confusing ending. A madman had killed over nine million people with a nuclear bomb in New York and using an untested top secret project three people go back some 54 years to set the man on the right path thus saving New York. They make it back with seconds to spare and everything seems okay until a military officer overseeing the project steps thru the time stream to an unknown time or location. THE END. COME ON. Where did he go and what did he do? The ending sucked. This show had a new concept of time travel at most, a little of Continuum in it but it has promise. I guess fictitious wrestling, game shows and chasing ghosts are more cost effective. Welcome to brain dead, cheap, mindless and modern TV. Our Syfy (Sci-Fi) channel has lost it's way with less than half a dozen true science fiction shows on now and not a single new space series on. Please give us something worth watching.

Zubacz...............I am afraid that your taste as far as REVOLUTION is/was concerned, was very much out of focus!!If you are so good a reviewer, and possibly specialise in sci-fi, why don't YOU sit down and write a screen play that will wow the audiences???Thought is universal, so why don't you think-out-of-the-box and come up with some ideas?I am looking forwarding to hearing of your success.I must admit that I was disappointed with REWIND, but I thought that BOREALIS stood a better chance to be picked up by a network, but I don't think that it has.Better luck next time.

Syfy has done it again, this time taking bits from continuum. I don't mind bringing greats shows to America but Syfy just ends up ruining everything with all the Americanizing, cough being human for example. The time travel based procedural cop show angel is fine but this show is more procedural cope show than science fiction.The first 5 minutes of any story should grab the audience, with Science Fiction that is incredibly easy, show some flashy tech, some amazing event, a character saying incredibly crazy almost incomprehensible things that will later make sense, any of those will do, they are all solid sci fi hooks and really not anything that needs to change. When I see science fiction turn into a procedural cop show with bad acting, shaky camera angles to add intensity, and awful dialogue, I no longer have a reason to watch.Syfy, if your going to make a science fiction show, focus on the science, even if your acting and dialogue are bad, people tuning into to Syfy to watch a science fiction may stick around. Trying to change the format of a genre to get viewers that prefer cop shows, drama, or reality TV, only makes science fiction fans turn away. I don't understand the logic, people who like Science Fiction and are always infront of a computer and TV so why should you make shows appeal to people that never watch or watch other genres? Make Syfy for science fiction fans."Science fiction is an existential metaphor, that allows us to tell stories about the human condition" -- Isaac Asimov
