Right now you can watch Timeless in the US on Amazon Prime Video and The CW, and in the UK on Sony Pictures Core Amazon Channel — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. 801 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Abigail Spencer's performance is the anchor the more ambitious scenes need. Available now on Amazon Prime Video — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Timeless arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The world-building is meticulous, but it is the characters who carry Timeless through its more ambitious moments. A mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America as we know it by changing the past. Our only hope is an unexpected team: a scientist, a soldier and a history professor, who must use the machine's prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. Abigail Spencer and Matt Lanter lead a cast that makes the ambitious moments land. It ran for 2 seasons (2016–2018), and the writing holds up across every one of them. What separates Timeless from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, Timeless fits the bill. Fans of Seven Days will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Abigail Spencer anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.

Timeless was cancelled in 2018, created by Shawn Ryan and Eric Kripke — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
