The series is staged in the future in the year 2077 where technology is the order of the day and a detective has been trained to operate with tech aids in keeping the world save from those who want to alter the event of things.
Continuum does fit the Syfy profile, but it's still a pretty thin exercise that doesn't quite pass this fundamental test: If allowed to go back in time, would you erase the hours spent watching this show?
Continuum, like so many contemporary Syfy series, has a drab, perfunctory visual style and often feels like just another shoot-'em-up with a slightly more fantastic hook.
