Time travel in science fiction is a tricky thing - nothing really matters because any time someone can go back in time and change the timeline.
Continuum manages to play with alternate timelines, multiple versions of people from timelines without losing the audience.
Rachel Nichols does a great job carrying the series and making the main protagonist likable and relatable and keep the viewer invested.
The plot is very smart, full of twists and shows a frightingly realistic picture of our own near future, even more so now 10 years after its run.
In good old Star Trek tradition it shows us the motivation of the characters without being judgmental. It makes you think without being preachy.
Other than way too many great scifi shows it was able to complete its run and properly finish the story.
It can be a little confusing but when all strings are tied in the final season, everything makes sense.
To sum up: Great writing, great acting and flawless execution.
