Seasons one and two worked well. Cross between detective and science fiction. Season three had a team of new writers and would be the reason for the show being cancelled. Sadly, it lost continuity. No pun intended. It became an episode to episode series with poor direction and non believable dialogue due to unempathetic script writing and totally incongruous story lines.It definitely lost its way. Shame.

Continuum is a show about time travel -- a woman from 2077 is inadvertently sent back to our present. In the future, the corporations run the world, and she's one of their soldiers.Okay, corporate rule is part of the definition of Fascism; and truly, the world she lives in with her family seems Big Brother-ish, intrusive, and restrictive.On the basis of this, a bunch of people on IMDb decided to write off the show, sometimes as early as the first episode, because the lead character, Keira (Rachel Nichols) is on the wrong side.The wrong side. I really don't know what that means. First of all, I was intrigued that she was a soldier in the future and wondered if, seeing the seeds of the future planted now in the past, if she would change sides.I'm now watching season 4. While I'm not big on sci fi, I am enjoying "Continuum". The acting is a little all over the place - Victor Webster was a soap star known as a young man for being drop- dead gorgeous and unable to act. He gets by. Rachel Nichols is better. I also like Erik Knudson, Ian Tracey, Stephen Lobo, Luvia Peterson, and Omari Newton. It's a young, attractive cast.I can understand giving up on a show after the first season, the first ten episodes, but come on -- the first episode? Must everything be pegged right or left wing? I guess so. Today a woman is sexually assaulted and it's politicized. So I'm not surprised.

I have only seen the first 2 seasons, I doubt I will watch 3 and 4.I was exiting when I saw the first season of this series. Many interesting scenes, cool technology, introduction of persons. How the main character struggle to adapt after traveling back in time. Struggle to find out what happens, try to get back, find a purpose.Unfortunate, in season 2, all is predictable. The rule of the good and bad persons reverses from 2012 to the future. Every person become very static and predictable and no real character development.Boring! Cliché in talk, standard shooting scenes, pointless violence. Play on all the normal issues with corruption in police, politician and powerful business men. All people just play a standard role.Laughable is the genius that invent so much cool technology in the future. The typical one man (boy) show, that can do all, even the impossible. But so easy to trick, that his older self can play him like an instrument over many years in distance.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I think many viewers weren't really paying attention and missed the point. Possible futures, what kind of world does everyone want to live in, the good guys are the bad guys, or are they? Shades of gray everywhere and who really has the right idea or plan to change the past and future for the "better?"You don't like Sci-Fi time travel stuffs, look elsewhere. You want a $200-300 million dollar Hollywood budgeted show, wrong place. You want to see some of the old X-Files alumni, creative writing, a good story, some decent acting (great by some, acceptable by others), pretty good effects and a really well thought out story; this is a show for you. Too bad they made them end it early but so glad they got to wind it up to some degree anyway.This is further evidenced by the fact that the US Networks have finally discovered this show and there's a whole group of copies coming out. Too funny, watch the original and enjoy!
