Continuum
Season 2 Episode 1 Review
So
Continuum new season premiered last night and for those of you that don’t know
the show here is a quick recap. In the future (2077) a group known as Liber8
fight against the corporatic and oligarchic dystopia of the North American
Corporate Congress. When the group major players and their leader escape from
prison with a time machine, Kiera Cameron of the City Protective Services (CPS)
pursuits them through the time machine back to the past, where with her special
suit and some new friends she tries to re-capture the Liber8 group and travel
back home.
Now,
during season one she kills some members of the group and makes contact with a younger
version of one of the most powerful oligarchs of her time, Alec Sadler, the man
behind a lot of the technical and scientific breakthroughs of her time, of
course that at the time the action takes place he is a teenager with a very
good knack to computers. In the last episode of season 1, Kiera is confronted
with the truth about how Liberr8 were capable to escape, who gave them the technology
and why she was chosen to also be sent in time.
Spoiler
Alert
In
this first episode of season 2, which aired yesterday, we see more backroom
deals taking place, politicians trying to gain more power and thus joining Liber8,
a possible new enemy and the instability between Kiera and young Alec. In the
end of the episode we see a ominous message from old Alec, played by the actor
William B. Davis (the Cigarette Smoking Man from X-Files) to younger Alec.
All
and all it was a good beginning for the show and we can expect great moments
from the show if they follow up with the end message in episode 1 of the second
season.
