Caedus posted:that one that was set in Vancouver (they were all filmed in Vancouver but this one was actually SET there) that was a time traveling one? I can't recall the name, except I can recall they named their big bad corporation Sanmonto and it makes me giggle to this day. Continuum. It started out decent but got pretty convoluted and dumb by the end. By season four I was mostly still watching because I liked Kellog.

duck trucker posted:There was short-lived show on ABC called No Ordinary Family where a family of four, Dad played by Michael Chiklis and Mom played by Julie Benz, get in a plane accident where they get superpowers. Aardvark! posted:I thought the Limitless tv show from 2015 was surprisingly fun. It's your standard procedural with guy with Impossible Genius Powers, starring Jake McDorman and Jennifer Carpenter. Lord Hydronium posted:Speaking of Jonathan Banks, he was one of the main villains in the extremely underrated Day Break. It was a Groundhog Day type mystery starring Taye Diggs as a cop who's been framed for murder. There were some neat twists on the time loop formula, like how all his wounds carried over from day to day, and he could sometimes cause permanent changes in the loop. It only aired for one season, but it was a self contained plot, so everything got wrapped up and it didn't really need anything more. It just seems to have been forgotten after that; it got a DVD release that's now out of print, and doesn't seem to be streaming anywhere.

Poo In An Alleyway posted:Odyssey 5: The astronaut crew of a space shuttle looks on in horror as they witness the violent destruction of the Earth. However, they are given a chance to change humanity's fate when a sympathetic alien sends them five years into the past. Their mission--find out who's responsible for the plot to destroy the planet. Can they deal with their own pasts while saving the world from the mysterious organism known only as "Leviathan?" That sounds like the type of show I would start watching with high hopes and end up hate-watching as they ignored all the interesting possibilities in favour of increasingly convoluted conspiracies that never get resolved.

Poo In An Alleyway posted:The Last Train was a show that ran for a single series on the British channel ITV in 1999. This show had a pretty wild concept, even by today’s standards: passengers on a train from London to Sheffield are cryogenically frozen in the midst of a train accident when a gas canister being illegally transported by a passenger bursts. They unfreeze thinking they’ve only been frozen for a few minutes, but exit the train tunnel to find that the civilisation had completely collapsed, realising that several weeks have passed and humanity is sparing and scattered. They later realise that they’ve been frozen for 52 years. They must have had a pretty dim view of humanity and civilisation to think it could all collapse in a matter of weeks.

Ralph Crammed In posted:I really liked Becoming a God in Central Florida. It was renewed for a second season but then the pandemic hit and evidently it wasn't working out and now it's permanently canceled and no one seems to give enough of a poo poo about it to try to get a second season going
