The characters and their emotional connection (and the emotional connection of the viewer to the characters) are the heart of the show. Not explosions, not helicopter chases, not collapsing buildings. I can't believe we're having to explain this.
If you cut viewers' emotional connections to the characters by having every important beat and decision happen off-screen, to the point of it nor even being coherent anymore (or worse, even out of character), then you have failed the assignment. Lose the connection and you will lose your viewers.
If I wanted to watch some random action junk, I would watch a Michael Bay movie or something. People watch 911 to follow the characters along, so stop hiding their most important moments off-screen. And stop rushing! The last 5 minutes of this episode was some of the worst rushed, disjointed jumble of scenes I've ever seen.

The look of all the 90s "kids" really took me out of the story. Not only Lucy and Matt but also the sister and best friend look like they're at least in their mid-twenties. None of these people look like they should be playing teens OR 40+ year olds. I had fully expected different actors when we jumped back 25 years(!!) in time. One really has to wonder why it was done this way, because it's baffling and utterly distracting.
I'm not even getting into time travel paradoxes here, because for something that had the 90s as a hook, it was quite sloppy on that end as well.
The premise wasn't bad but the result is.
