A Netflix -{ MICRO }- Review ; This's the first TV serial to get me watching -{ "TV" }- again ; in 5 LONG YEARS!

Rufus: { with 'considerable' ire }: "I'm in the damn Stone Age ( ! ), but, man, I hope you live a long, long life. Long enough to see Michael Jordan dunk, Michael Jackson dance, Mike Tyson punch. Really, just any black guy named Michael ( ! )".

I literally -just- finished the -whole- First Season of "TIMELESS", and was just SO-O-O Wowed by what I saw, that I felt like I simply -HAD- to put "a few words" down here, before advancing -ANY- further. { There are two seasons in all, of which Season-1 comprises 16 episodes, with Season-2 being made up of 11 }. In the interests of 'full disclosure', however, it would be only fair for me to tell you ..'at the very get go'.. that if you're someone who's easily nonplussed by fairly in-depth explorations of well established -Actual- events thru ( -relatively- ) recent human history, then you are more than likely -NOT- going to appreciate this show, I'm afraid. As for me... well, I'd like to offer a "A HUGE, HEARTFELT" Thank You to Abigail Spencer, Matt Lanter, Malcolm Barrett, Sakina Jaffrey, Claudia Doumit, Goran Visnjic & Paterson Joseph, ( Lucy, Wyatt, Rufus, Denise, Jiya, Garcia & Connor Mason, respectively ) ...for inspiring, enthralling, humbling, uplifting and EXCITING me in the way that I NEVER thought a "TV series" ever
could! What an utter, & welcome: 'Revelation'!
I would've also loved to thank all of you SUPER TALENTED directors one by one, but as there are "All Of 13!" { -benign chuckle- } of you, I guess I'm just going to have to settle for the 2 'Leads' { i.e the 2 of you who have those ( relative ) super majorities of '5 episodes directed' each ; in addition to always being the -Very- first two to be listed }, namely Greg Beeman, & John F. Showalter. You've well-&-truly reinvigorated the notion of "..kept me on the edge of my seat right the way through!!!!!.." But -{ Most Of All }- Thank You not only for providing us with that VERY TOUCHING little "glimpse" into what the 'VERY-BEST( ! )' of inter-race, inter-sex ( and basically straight up "human -to- human" ) relations could -{ Potentially }- look like here on Planet Earth ( with -Pointed- reference to some of the -Main- characters, of course ) ; but also for all the SUPERB -HISTORICAL-, and indeed, POWERFUL SOCIO -ANTHROPOLOGICAL- insights which you've so graciously and wondrously provided us massively lucky viewers with, ( that, upon -careful- observation ), reveal themselves as being -{ Literally }- . . . . all over the place!
Summary: Kindly bear in mind that although this television programme is officially rated "12", according to -this- very platform, it is really -{ Not }- suitable for children. And so, pursuant to having gotten that rather important little -detail- off my chest, all that remains to be done before I quickly end this little -review- of mine, is to enthusiastically say the following. "There is no doubt -{ Whatsoever }- in my mind that I absolutely, positively -need- to be Awarding, and indeed Re-warding... this sheer small screen "Delight" with my 'trademark' "Personal -Grand- Slam" score of "25 Marks Out Of 10 Marks" ...and it comes with a veritable -Ton- of "Love and Appreciation", at that. YES, IT'S REALLY -{ THAT }- GOOD . . . . . OH, JOY!!!!! "
