Is it worth checking out? Only just heard of it today and looks interesting. ---

I watched the first season, and enjoyed it more than I thought I might. I’ve seen enough “people traveling back in time to prevent a terrible future” stories to make me a tough audience, but it maintained my interest all the way through, and left me impatient for a second season. Which I noticed today has just appeared on Netflix. So I’ll be watching that. ---

I really enjoyed season one. I just noticed season two is available. I might binge season one again to remind myself what happened. ---

We liked it. Good to know Season 2 is here. I’d say it’s a unique beast, with its own world view. If you like science fiction, I’d give it a try. ---

Seeing the plug for season 2 is what inspired me to ask 🙂 ---

It’s more boring than I hoped for, but I have not seen the brand new season 2. Only season 1. I may check it out, I may not. Not sure. ---

Yes, do check it out. I’d start with season 1 if you’re new to it, though, because season 2 begins right where season 1 left off. I’d call it science fiction-y time travel which is more grounded IRL than within a stereotypical sci-fi world. The supporting cast (aka non-Travelers) keep the story grounded in that respect. ---

We’re enjoying it so far but are only u p to episode 4 of season one. ---

I’m not going to tell you anything about it but the Season Two finale in just Oh My God. ---

I love this show. Just finished season 2 and, wow, that ending really shakes things up. ---

I’ve been bingeing season 2 these past two days, and now I’ve got four episodes left. It’s fantastic- definitely one of the best scifi shows I’ve seen. Good characters, and solid internal logic. I really wish I’d rewatched season 1, though- I’d forgotten quite a bit. ---

I think the show is pretty good. It’s cool to see how some travelers wind up in bodies that aren’t exactly amazing fits for who they are. I also enjoy how they go to the trouble of showing how thrilled they are to partake in mundane activities like walks in the park, which clearly are no longer possible in whatever ruined future they’re from. ---

I just saw that season 3 of Travelers will drop on December 14. Can’t wait! I’m rewatching S2 right now. Here’s the season 3 trailer: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/xyEijpJ9YL0/maxresdefault.jpg "Travelers: Season 3 | Official Trailer [HD] | Netflix") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyEijpJ9YL0) ---

> [@Lightnin](#): > > It’s fantastic- definitely one of the best scifi shows I’ve seen. Good characters, and solid internal logic. I had kind of the opposite reaction. I.e., it’s moderately entertaining as long as you don’t think about the logic too much. ---
