Travelers (2016)

Travelers (2016) — Drama / Mystery / Sci‑Fi Set hundreds of years in the future, humanity discovers a way to send consciousnesses back in time into people living in the 21st century. A small team of these “Travelers” takes over the lives of seemingly random hosts—FBI Special Agent Grant MacLaren (the team leader), Marcy (an intellectually disabled woman), Trevor (a high‑school quarterback), Carly (a single mom in an abusive relationship) and Philip (a heroin‑addicted college student)—and secretly carries out high‑stakes missions meant to change the course of history and prevent a bleak future. Armed only with historical knowledge, social‑media archives and strict protocols, they must navigate modern life while avoiding detection and unintended consequences. Watching Travelers you’ll get a mix of tense sci‑fi mystery and character‑driven drama: mission suspense and moral dilemmas sit alongside intimate, often messy portrayals of the hosts’ everyday lives and relationships. The series balances procedural elements and serialized story arcs—sneak attacks, covert operations and ethical fallout—while exploring identity, sacrifice and whether the ends justify the means. Expect slow‑burn character development, moments of action and emotional stakes that make both the future and present feel perilously close to collapse.
