    • Trivia
      The only element the TV series shares with the novel of the same name is the existence of humans who have the ability to teleport. None of the characters or situations in the TV show are taken from the novel, though they could conceivably be set in the same universe.

    [7-7.5] Incoherent melodrama with a Jumper flavour
    If a show is meant to throw us a bunch of confused scenes in every episode depicting aspects of messed-up lives of main characters and some of the cast, then the series succeeds without question. On the other hand, if we expect to see a SciFi series with proper development of the characters and smooth continuity of the screenplay and plots, then, aside some nicely done episodes, it almost fails miserably.

    There was too much melodrama for such a show and too much accentuation on what happened to Henry that made her so out of control, messed-up and weepy, that it borders disbelief. If the goal was raising the subject of S. violence, then it could have been easily and more successfuly made into a (teen) fresh drama series with more thorough story-telling, like for example the first season of "13 reasons why".

    The happenings to Jenna were also a little too much, but better developed and had a genuine feel to it. The best character development and acting IMO can be awarded to Townes (Daniel Maslany) who played his character awesomly well and was one of the shining points of the series. After that we have Nikolai (Callum Keith Rennie) who also played his character well and acted believably.

    Pretty much everything else was there as fillers, which made the show's story shaky and somewhat weak. Too much unanswered questions and plot holes that ruined viewers' expectations. e.g. like what happened to Deputy Anna Hulce...

    On the plus side, the visual and special effects were very well-done and one of the main reasons to the series' (good) rating overall.

    Good or bad, quick or slow, the show was gaining momentum at the end of season 2 and after two seasons of developments, we had finally reached a turning point to the series' story, when its third season was unexpectedly cancelled for unknown or illogical reasons, ruining the whole efforts that was put into it and leaving almost everybody (cast and viewers) hanging in thin air.

    It is a mistake to plan, create and develop series with usually big budgets and logistics, only to have them cancelled after 1 to 2 seasons. It only shows poor thinking, planning and a huge waste of resources.
