The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Blistering performances.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

is growing a little tired, haven't we been here and done this already?As so often is the case, I find myself admitting I didn't even make it through the pilot episode, so it may well be that this show is awesome, but...I wouldn't guess that is the case given the first/pilot episode was enough to put me off exploring this any further, despite having 3 episodes to watch watching in the wings (the were deleted without viewing).The acting was terrible, the script was about as creative as a dry dog poo on the pavement, and the humour, well I guess perhaps Americans might be amused, but as a non American I found this about as funny as the aforementioned dog poo. There were no redemption elements in this show at all, no even a cute actor to make the rest of this dogs breakfast worth viewing - alas.What amazes me is how shows like this manage to find an audience, when poor old Katherine Heigl still struggles to make it past 3 episodes.... perhaps she should try comedy because obvious the bar is incredibly low on what continues and what doesn't.So, if you're American or like American humour (lacks intelligence and wit), then go ahead, waste your life on this, otherwise I would suggest moving on and spending your time in a more advantageous way elsewhere - like walking the dog or watching paint dry.

I too felt like I missed an episode. However, once into the show I really liked it. i like the idea of history and comedy. I like historical shows, like Turn, and this is different in a good way. I'm hoping it keeps getting better - but for sure I'll be watching future episodes.

check out my review herehttps://alittleofallblog.wordpress.com/2017/03/06/making-history-tv- series/The pilot dives into time travel without giving us any background on the plot, the first few minutes felt fast forwarded where I was trying to grasp what was going on, there should have been narration or some introduction to characters and scenarios.Its a mindless comedy but without a good pilot to show for.

This is an awesome show. I would recommend it. A facilities manager at a small college discovers a way to travel through time and transports himself into the 1700s, where he falls in love and makes new friends; meddling in the past turns out to wreak havoc in the present. Leighton Meester plays Adam Pally girlfriend.
