Review: Continuum ‘Second Opinion’ – New Server Smell

At times, 'Second Opinion' is the best episode of Continuum ever produced, finally exploring Kiera's psyche in a way that gives her life some meaningful (if not obvious) context. On the other hand, it bungles so many things around it with the VPD mole investigation, it's hard not to sit back and just laugh after …

Review: Continuum ‘Split Second’ – There Are No Sure Things

There are some really interesting threads hinted at in 'Split Second', another episode full of convoluted moments and thrown together sub-plots that could've been better spent on other, more intriguing things.

Season premiere review: Continuum ‘Second Chances’ – A Multi-Layered Approach

But it does get there towards the end - unfortunately, by …

Review: Continuum ‘Wasting Time’ – Excess Trash Problems

Deceit is in the air in 'Wasting Time', with Kellogg and Kiera (The K-Team, if you like) both selling a whole lot of bullshit to their respective factions. It's a bit of an overstuffed episode that is heavy on police procedural (not the show's strong suit), but is has moments where it's clear Continuum is starting …

Review: Continuum ‘Fast Times’ – Bitch Cop Does

There are a few moments where 'Fast Times' gets lost up its own ass - specifically when it goes on long-winded dialogues trying to define or scientifically justify different aspects of the time traveling portal Liber8 is trying to reproduce in the episode. And there are other times when Kiera's mission to fool the police …
