Time travel shows are often disappointing and clumsily executed and seem to have been written for the juvenile viewer. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but this is the first one I've seen in a long while that's aimed at adults, rather than teenagers.

Looking forward to future episodes, got the DVR already set. Very minor quibble - they could clean up the language a little bit. But that's just my preference, it's not constant.

Other than that all the characters are believable, the pace is fast, and the actors very compelling.

As for the bad reviews, I detect a strong hint of something other than honest criticism in some of them.

The subject matter seems a bit morbid on first glance, but this well crafted historical mystery series contains the same dry tongue in cheek humour that has made many previous Shaftsbury productions a treat.
