Paradox
On BBC One
A high-concept sci-fi thriller about precognition and temporal paradox, built on the tension of racing to prevent futures already seen.
Mysterious images that show incidents 18 hours before they happen are transmitted from space. As a space scientist attempts to explain their source, detectives race against time to change the future.
