If you want science fiction that respects its own premise, 12 Monkeys is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and MyOutdoorTV right now. 4 seasons in, and the quality has not slipped. 1,182 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Aaron Stanford sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, 12 Monkeys earns its spot. 12 Monkeys treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. The provocative story of Cole, a time traveler from a decimated future in a high-stakes race against the clock. Utilizing a dangerous and untested method of time travel, he journeys from 2043 to the present day on a mission to locate and eradicate the source of a deadly plague that will all but annihilate the human race. Aaron Stanford and Amanda Schull lead a cast that keeps the bigger ideas grounded in something human. 4 seasons (2015–2018) gave the story room most shows never get. The rules of 12 Monkeys's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

12 Monkeys is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. Travelers is the obvious comparison, but 12 Monkeys earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Aaron Stanford's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.

12 Monkeys wrapped up in 2018, created by Terry Matalas and Travis Fickett — and 4 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
