Journeyman Reviews

Journeyman is NBC's new fall hit and I love it! Time travel seems to be explored a lot lately in books, movies and TV, but Journeyman is an interesting twist on the topic.

The Gist of Journeyman

The main character of Journeyman,Dan (Kevin McKidd), is able to travel in time, but he is also on a mission during his time travels. Though his power is relatively new to him, it is apparent that he has to figure out who he is supposed to help and figure out how to help them. It's like Superman meets Back to the Future.

The Relationship Factor in Journeyman

It wouldn't be a true drama if there weren't some...

Well, sadly, I'm too late. Another great show has bit the dust, with no apparent hope of revival.

Journeyman is/was a great sci-fi/time travel show with, more importantly, wonderful family interactions that were screaming to be explored. Relationships between Dan and his wife Katie were beautifully acted and filmed. The initial disbelief followed by acceptance that Katie showed gave me faith that exceptionally strained relationships can work, if people believe in each other and really, truly love each other. I saw it here.

One might draw a sililarity between Journeyman and another GREAT show, QUANTUM...

I was not totally sure I would watch this show when it came out this year.  I have Tivo and a DVR so I recorded it.  I am so glad I did!! 

 I think this is a great show.  I am not really a sci-fi lover, but this is not a sci-fi in a traditional way.  It has great relationships, has a weekly story plus a few ongoing story lines to keep in interesting.  The relationships seem very real and are as what could be expected if this was real. 

I really hope this show makes it, so get out there and watch, you won't be dissapointed!
