Time travel never leaves the user unscarred, even in the least convincing of films and television series, it is a given that consequences are unavoidable even for the hardiest of souls, that Time is often a bitter and twisted entity that thrives on chaos, confusion, and humanity’s folly in believing that even the smallest interaction will leave them unscathed.

Originality is a scarce commodity, and even then, the chances are it has been done before, but that doesn’t stop the belief that what you are witnessing is a novel approach to an age-old problem, that of how to entertain, educate, and inform, whilst keeping the attention of the one who has invested their time in your product, in your story.

There is a subsection of the police procedural crime fiction that the armchair detective will rave about, as if solving a murder wasn’t good enough for them, that they can battle their own wits against the investigator in charge, it is when the villain is so conniving, so  devious in their passion to prove they are just as clever as the one chasing them, if not more so, the complications presented to the viewer are boundless and enthralling to decipher.
