Continuum
The future is in her hands.
Created by Simon Barry
On Showcase
A time-travel action drama built on the tension between a cop's duty to her present and her knowledge of a dystopian future, sustained across four seasons of cat-and-mouse with rebels.
The series centers on the conflict between a group of rebels from the year 2077 who time-travel to Vancouver, BC, in 2012, and a police officer who accidentally accompanies them. In spite of being many years early, the rebel group decides to continue its violent campaign to stop corporations of the future from replacing governments, while the police officer endeavours to stop them without revealing to anyone that she and the rebels are from the future.
