12 Monkeys - the Syfy TV series

[FourWheelDrift]

It's got Tom Noonan in it, therefore it will be brilliant.

Fargo worked because it was different characters in the same "universe"

This sounds like a remake in TV form. And I happen to know how that ended so how can they change the story?

Just watched it and its excellent! There's a lot mediocre 'monster of the week' type shows made in the US lately (Constantine I'm looking at you) but this is actually a little more thought provoking.

Catch the pilot if you can, it's riveting stuff. I'm certainly onboard for episode 2.

[Jonesy23]

Much better than I expected, hasn't suffered from going with a slightly straighter take on the story than Gilliam took.

[ugofirst]

I've watched the first 3 episodes now and it's still good.

I have no idea where its going and whether it'll ultimately run out of steam and just become another US series that started brightly and ended up being canned once the novelty had worn off.

I've caught the first two - it lacks the intensity of the film, but we'll see - I'm enjoying it so far.

I can see that some of the Paradoxes will require an amount of thought - which is good

Is anybody still watching this?
I've only recently found it and am now about to start season 4.

Pretty good and kept us entertained for a while.

Sorry for the bump, but until last night I had no idea this existed.

Scanning through the channels for something to watch and this series popped up on the Peacock channel. There are absolutely loads of episodes going through all different time periods.

Four episodes in, enjoying it and wondering how I missed this.

It's really good and gets better as it goes. The whole thing hangs together - including the time travel logic - plus it actually comes to a proper conclusion. Really recommend it.

Season one is sort of a retread of the film but they take the whole thing much much further.

Look forward to watching more, my Sky box now has 17 episodes downloaded with the rest scheduled.

A lot of time-travelling telly to watch.

Well I managed to finish all forty odd episodes finally last night.

Struggled a little in the middle with a few episodes stuck in the future, but glad I stuck with it, although there was probably a fair bit I didn't really understand.

Did you enjoy the insanity of the 'let's kill Hitler' episode?

I've really got to get around to watching this again.

Probably my favourite one.

One thing I may have missed due to wine drinking was: How did Deacon not know of anything when he was in all the various timelines? What did I miss?

May have to watch the last two again completely sober.

Thread resurrection!

This has recently appeared on the ITVx app (despite not being aired on the ITV channels to my knowledge)

Finished season 1 last night, which I enjoyed. Will carry on with the other 3 seasons.

I like a good time travel show. "Travelers" on Netflix is another worth checking out, if you like that kind of thing.

Thanks for highlighting, something I've been meaning to watch for a while but never found a streaming service useful enough to pay specifically for it.
Now it's time to play "spot the picard season 3 actor"...

Went onto Netflix last night to check this out then realised I'd watched the first five episodes and obviously gave up on it.

So I thought I'd give it a go again.

Think I got to episode five again and totally lost interest.

Maybe that episode was a glitch as I quite enjoyed it up to that point, so I'll give it a go from episode six.

Started re-watching again last night, can't remember how far I got but I know I never finished the series. Just watched the first Ep and surprised by how much happens in just one episode. They do a great job at explaining a pretty complex plot in an hour.

Looking forward to working my way through it again and spotting all the actors from that thing you saw the other week.
