Timeless was cancelled for three days, and then NBC brought it back from the dead. Perhaps it was the fan outcry that did it, or maybe Rittenhouse just sent somebody back to correct that situation. Regardless, more than a year later, here it is. It’s not just back. It’s here with more spirit and energy and focus,…

Earlier this week, NBC broke the hearts of TV time travel fans—who weren’t having a good few months anyway—by announcing that it was canceling its high-concept sci-fi series Timeless. But the great thing about time travel is that you never have to truly commit to a hard decision—outside of whether you’re using …

It looks like the big wave of time travel shows this season failed to attract a lot of viewers, as just a few weeks after ABC pulled Time After Time from its schedule, NBC has canceled its own temporal drama Timeless. This comes from Deadline, which suggests that Timeless’ cancellation is a mildly surprising move…

Television has the tendency to be cyclical and very self-referential. Looking through TV history, we see periods of popularity for the domestic sitcom, say, or anthology series, or just straight-up cop shows and medical dramas.

Last year, the creators of NBC’s time travel series Timeless got smacked with a lawsuit, claiming they’d stolen the idea for their history jaunting show from the Spanish series El Ministerio Del Tiempo.

When watching Timeless, one doesn’t expect to be reminded of The Good Place. They couldn’t be more different, really—totally dissimilar in tone, style, execution, subject matter, and so on—but there are two key qualities they share. One, they’ve got a solid ensemble, and always find a way to give at least one member…

Timeless is an odd series. Tonally, it’s a bit all over the place, sometimes a rambunctious time-travel heist, sometimes a moody sci-fi drama, and sometimes an Alias-style, twist-driven story of nefarious secret organizations and double agents and so on.

Timeless is back, and for the most part, it’s business as usual. There’s one small change, however, and it’s one that could mean big (and positive) things for the show in the weeks to come. Thanks to Lucy’s interference, Flynn’s goal is now to take down Rittenhouse, one member at a time—a simplification that will…
