not your typical time travel story and definitely for adults

This is not your run of the mill time travel story. I like that the story lines are both in the past and the present.

The secondary characters appear to have all been re-incarnated. Hopefully past and present will be reconciled eventually.

The first couple episode are confusing but I believe that it's done deliberately on the part of the writer until all the pieces start to come together. The writer is being extra careful to not give hints of what's coming, so every move is a surprise. The action is neither to slow or to fast. I'm really curious to see what will come next.

The writing is good, the acting is superb, the sets are good and the costuming is excellent.

I rated it a 9 and dropped it to an 8 because at episode 12 the story it is getting weird. I am just a little nervous in the direction it is taking. I have to say I hope it has a clear happy ending and at this point i am not sure if it will.

Update- Episode 13 and 14 were better. I like how some of the characters are getting their karma. I can't wait for the remaining 2 episodes there are many possibilities to be explored it will be interesting to see where the story goes., I will not put spoilers in here but I will say it's starting toward the ending and I hope it's happy..

The Ending is not satisfying. You just shake your head and say WHAT WERE THE WRITERS THINKING?

I like clear happy endings and this is not one.; I think they are setting it up for a season 2. I hope it comes. It would have to be after the solar eclipse and focus on the past.
