We are doing the best we can and I am proud of most of what we accomplish with my Great crew!!!! I hope you understand it is a massive undertaking. We set up and take down each period each episode with script changes and late casting….most of the clothes come from the U.S and we shoot in Canada. We have about a week and a half to prep each episode and most of the principles have to be made in multiples for stunts. The producer does not like hats…it is a battle. I tried to get them to re-shoot the master but it was a no go and it make me nuts. I could not watch the German episode because of Ian Flemmings belt.

Lucy was suppose to have gloves on but with the speed in which we are shooting the costumer did not get the to her on time. Yes the gown should have had hooks but an inexperienced tailor shop could barely make the dress on time to shoot but they still did a pretty good job for their first time. OK Lucy’s trim is actually vintage trim from Western Costume archives but also the outfit is not suppose to be 100% percent period correct for the Lincoln episode as they cobbled the looks together in theory. I feel it necessary for a quick response because we work so damn hard. I’m also entertained by some of the costume-related bits, like the giant warehouse of period costumes the government puts together Lucy complaining that the fabric of her blouse didn’t exist yet and that her skirt is from the following decade watching Lucy get dressed in 1860s gear, including a cage crinoline and Wyatt mocking the Civil War reenactors from whom uniforms were borrowed.

I particularly like how they’re not actually keeping the history as-is - while, so far, our heroes have mostly saved the day, when they get back, they find that the history has been rewritten to accommodate the subtle changes that have occurred. And while Rufus’s commentary - particularly on being a black man going back in time - is pretty funny, he’s also very obviously there for the wry comic relief.īut who cares, because they’re actually trying to do a decent, non-cheesy job at presenting the history! Each episode begins with a scene showing how the key event went down in “real” history, then we see it play out again with the terrorists and our heroes mucking things up. There are a few problems, of course, with the logic - for example, historians tend to focus on particular eras/topics, so I’m confused how Lucy is an expert in every subsection of American history. The government pulls together a three-person team that they send into the past to try to stop the terrorists: Lucy is there to help the team blend into the period (and to figure out why the terrorists have chosen that particular date in the first place), engineer Rufus is there to pilot the time machine and provide the humor, and military operative Wyatt is there to be badass and hot (and theoretically to take out the terrorists). Luckily, there are two time machines, and the one still in government hands can track the one in the terrorists’ hands.

Lucy is a professional historian at an unnamed university who gets pulled into a secret government mission: terrorists have stolen a time machine and is using it to disrupt American history (to what end, we don’t know).

Now I’ve had a chance to binge-watch a bunch of episodes, and you know what? I’m surprisingly entertained! If you enjoy conspiracy TV series like Lost, Orphan Black, or Fringe, or if you just like the idea of a TV show that is doing a decently serious stab at different time periods, I’d recommend you give it a whirl! We’ve previously posted about Timeless, the new time-travel, vast-government-conspiracy TV show from NBC - Sarah posted when the preview came out.
