Timeless, from Supernatural creator Eric Kripke and The Shield creator Shawn Ryan, is a big, broad adventure series that, unfortunately, feels more or less designed to play it safe. Time travel is all over the TV right now -- from CW's Legends of Tomorrow and Syfy's 12 Monkeys to Hulu's recent 11.22.63 miniseries to ABC's upcoming Time After Time (and, in a way, the CW's upcoming Frequency) -- so it's evident that it can hold an audience and be a viable gimmick for serialized TV, but you're not going to see anything new here. Not based on this first episode.
Timeless isn't going to break the mold. It has its specific time travel rules in place (you can't ever travel back to any time or place you once existed, which prevents our heroes from simply going back to take another try at the weekly mission if they botch it) and the ramifications for failure are what you might expect. The past changing causes the present to change. It's all very rudimentary from a sci-fi perspective.
