Netflix's lesser-known sci-fi series Travelers has viewers hooked, with fans praising its unique blend of time travel and post-apocalyptic storytelling. The show has earned a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and viewers say it's so addictive they binge-watch it 'as quickly as possible.'
Fans Recommend Travelers on Reddit
After a Reddit user asked for recommendations on the Netflix forum, saying they 'needed' a new show and preferred 'longer shows with multiple seasons, longer episodes, and most importantly a really good story/plot that keeps you wanting to watch,' fans quickly jumped in to recommend Travelers.
The original poster listed favorites like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Ozark, and Suits, adding: 'I’m looking for something with a strong story/plot, multiple seasons, and enough episodes to really get invested in.'
One user responded: 'TRAVELERS!! Guaranteed you will love it.' Another agreed: 'Finally another that has enjoyed the series. Most folks have never heard of it.' A third added: 'I love Travelers. I've even rewatched it. So underrated and I'm not really sure why.'
What Is Travelers About?
Travelers is a science fiction series set in a post-apocalyptic world centuries in the future, where surviving humans have discovered how to send their consciousness back through time. They send their consciousness into random people in the 21st century to attempt to change humanity's path.
Armed only with knowledge of history and an archive of social media profiles, the travelers—who include an FBI agent, a single mother, and a college student—find that 21st-century relationships are as challenging as their high-stakes missions.
The first season premiered on Netflix in 2026, and the show produced three seasons before being cancelled, much to fans' dismay. It holds a rare perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with viewers praising its unpredictable plot and 'fresh take' on time travel, as well as the acting and writing.
Viewers Praise the Show's Addictive Quality
One reviewer said: 'It's very addictive once you start watching it and will want to binge it as quickly as possible.' Another added: 'Travelers was that rare combination of the perfect sci-fi show. It had a fresh take on time travel, an extremely wonderful cast ensemble, a great story to tell, thrills galore, humour, and seriously great sci fi enough to satisfy a community of people who love sci-fi with so much bad sci-fi being offered these days.'
All three seasons of Travelers are currently available to stream on Netflix.
