    Not sure why this show gets so little attention! This is better than any new show action/scify this TV season on US networks. I'm definitely a fan already!

    I wasn't sure about this one in the beginning of the series, but the series has developed really well. At times I think the writers or FX guys over-do it a bit. But most of the times it is catchy, well written, well acted and an episode is over before you know it. To me that is a sign of a quality series.

    I'm sorry, but it is not worth of an 8.1. It's a boring, cheesy cop show with a girl with future devices. There is no real substance. Overall, it is one of SYFY's disappointments, which the channel is slowly becoming famous for.

    Continuum has a fantastic base. Rachel Nichols is a fantastic actress to play the lead and is a solid character. I want to continue to see more character development for sure, but she keeps us completely engaged. I get tripped out sometimes trying to think between the future and the past and how things will ripple through time...so it is definitely enjoyable and worth the watch.

    I personally am a fan. I also have already watched the whole season on-line(since it is originally a Canadian show). It's my newer Sci-Fi fix especially since Fringe is over! I suggest you at least give it a try.

    After reading the review in the NYTimes, I expected near Battlestar Galactica quality... after all both were filmed in Vancouver. This show suffers from terrible writing and 2 dimensional acting. Awful.

    This series is very promising, not the least because it is set in Vancouver. I really like Rachel Nichols. I had this feeling that I had seen her before, and sure enough, it turned out that she was the Orion cadet in Star Trek. She also has a passing resemblance to Jodie Foster, which is a real recommendation for her although I guess that's not relevant. The premise of the show is well thought-out, and the first two episodes were entertaining, although I'm not sure they were entirely consistent. Good special effects and excellent, mostly Canadian, supporting cast, including the inimitable Smoking Man from X-Files (William B. Davis), and Tony Amendola of Stargate fame. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of Season One, and am glad to learn that the series has already been picked up for a second season. Lots of potential here. Expand

    The show seems promising with the good casting and good set locations . The actress seems pretty good that is not some teeny bopper emo that is trying to hard. Let's hope SyFy gives it a chance.

    The lead actress is appealing, and I'm interested in the time travel implications of certain actions. It's not brain-dead TV like so much else we're seeing. Let's go.

    I wanted this series to be much better than it is, it has potential. It start really strong. High production value, good acting, decent character development. But it looses depth and becomes average out as the first season progresses. By all means if you like scifi watch it there are certainly worse shows out there.

    If Continuum doesn't aim to soar, it executes the basics well.

    The pilot looks pretty impressive in the future, but after that, it's a fairly standard copshow, other than the bionic-type gizmos Kiera brings to the fight.
