Timeless: Pilot (2016)
Time travel yarn with political spin
The acting is okay but they really went out of their way to go against stereo type for most main parts but felt the need of course to make the Villain the ,"evil" white dude.(seems like all movies and shows are going this way currently)
Right off the jump the black character faces, of course, the Omni-present white racist cop from the early 1900's. If that's your thing you will love it. Otherwise its an average re-write on an old theme. They could of done so much more with the material and touch on thought provoking moments in history(that could of changed history) but instead wasted it on modern politicking.
No one is surprised by its low viewership and although NBC picked it up for season 2 unless they stop preaching and do more story telling it wont make a 3rd season. I was very disappointed as I was really excited when I initially heard of the show in the previews.
