2.5 out of 5 stars.
Plot was cliche. About a pilot in ww2 travelling to future from a rift. Coming across a a woman and her step son which they have been conflicted. Not much happens with this episode besides the kid trying to be a hero. Terrible acting. Boring script and direction.

I expected FAR MORE from director Mark Mylod, an otherwise accomplished tv director. He basically phoned this in, it looks like it was directed by someone in high school. The story plays out so predictably, too. Again, the show just wreaks of "this is the last one, so let's just get through this." No twists, turns, just a predictable straight line from beginning to end, just like they wrote in the early days of tv.
The ridiculous acting and the pathetic stories in this series have convinced me to cancel Apple TV.
A lack of content, and the poor quality of what content they offer just go to prove that Apple is no longer an innovative company.

Not much new here. "Terminator" meets "Cast Away" meets "E.T." with a bit of "Psycho" thrown in. A buffet of tired and threadbare story lines served in a TV dinner tray.

- TriviaLt. Theodore Cole's aircraft is the P-40 Warhawk, the same flown by Captain "Wild Bill" Kelso in Steven Spielberg's "1941". Cole also travels from December 1941, the month and year as the events in the movie.
Spielberg is the executive producer of this series.
- GoofsMary Ann says that based on the government's previous experience with the rift, Theodore can't take anything new back with him. But Kaminski never said anything like that, and the implication is that the government never tried. All Kaminski said is that the time traveler has to take everything back with him that he brought: that doesn't exclude new items.
- Quotes
Elijah Whitaker: They think you're a bad guy. Are you?
Lieutenant Theodore Cole: No, I was fighting bad guys.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits with the title card, writer, and director credits "flip" from one to another with a sound like an old-style TV changing channels, with the credits shown on an old-style TV set.
