Is anyone watching this Netflix original series?

The premise is that people from a dystopian future are traveling back to the present day to save us from ourselves and consequently cancel the awful circumstances that they came from. My wife and I figured with a basis like that, it had to be either really bad or really good. We decided to give it a chance and we're hooked. The acting and writing are great and each episode leaves us craving the next.

Best dialogue so far:

"So how many bottles of wine do you have to drink to get blackout drunk anyway?"

"I have no idea. I only do heroin."
"If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labelled a radical 50 years ago, a liberal 25 years ago, and a racist today."

- Thomas Sowell

I added it to my list a while back but haven't watched it because I figured it would be horrible. I'll have to watch the first episode.

"You know, just once I'd like to meet an alien menace that wasn't immune to bullets."

"There's a horror movie called Alien? That's really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you!"
-The Doctor

"Before Man goes to the stars he should learn how to live on Earth."

We've been watching it and are waiting for the next season to start. They gone in some very interesting directions with the plot ... gotta love time travel twists..... ;)

Watched a few episodes, then got side-tracked with some other series.

It was interesting enough to keep watching, and passed my three episode test - which is where I left off.  Obviously wasn't yet pulled into it enough, however, to continue at the expense of others.  *shrug*
