One thing I do really like about Timeless is that the main character, Lucy, is in the humanities. She’s a historian. Rare to see in a show like this and welcome.
She doesn’t fight (much). She doesn’t shoot people. She figures out things with an unbelievable treasure trove of facts and historical context.
That I can get behind.
Another thing: both episodes I’ve watched have explicitly dealt with the racist history of the country and not just swept it under the rug. Damn admirable.
Show won’t be renewed, I’d guess.
Show won’t get renewed, and Lucy won’t get tenure…
I know nothing about the show except that it’s apparently been claimed that it’s a rip off of a Spanish show the Ministry of Time (el ministerio del tiempo). I’ve never seen that…. but it began I believe in February 2015 (I remember seeing ads for it when I was on vacation in the Canaries).
