Other than the Time Travel aspect, how is this series different than say Quantum Leap?

I've seen the pilot, and I think it's going to be a bit too confusing for the general public on a weekly basis. I didn't love the pilot, and would need to see a few more episodes to see if the premise grabs me enough to commit to watching it on a weekly basis.

Saw the pilot and this is a shameless ripoff of Quantum Leap: Time travel for the sake of doing good/setting things right/redemption/whatever. But unlike QL, this show makes no attempt to provide a rational explanation for the time travel and I assume this will be a season/series long mystery. Not sure this show will survive long enough for said mystery to be revealed.

I saw the pilot many months ago and I didn't like it at all. In Quantum Leap he knows why he's time traveling .In this show, the guy just starts shifting time for no reason in the first scene! (at least in the version I saw, maybe they changed it) I'm sure it'll be explained later, but overall the show just isn't enjoyable to watch. I did, however, like the way that he

Just watched the pilot for free from Amazon's unbox. I wasn't too impressed. I could get past the QL rippoff premise, but the show felt very rushed and it didn't help that they couldn't come out and explain anything. I'm not talking about the time travel stuff, though that got a tease of explanation too, but things like who the girl was, the relationship with his wife and his brother, etc. Eventually the dropped enough hits to roughly piece it together, but the result wasn't really interesting enough to bother with. I guess the writers just don't like exposition.

I think this is this year's high concept show that will bomb first based on the pilot, the premise, it's timeslot and the way that network TV works these days.

I just watched this show from unbox and have to say it really grew on me. The first 20 minutes or so I didn't care much for it, but then it started pulling me in. I'll definitely watch a few more to see where this goes.
I'm SURE they're planning to explain his traveling. I'm not sure if it was in the version you watched, but they had a scene where

Does anyone think this show is worthy enough to start individual episode discussions or will this thread be suitable enough?

Just create a thread for the series premiere and go from there. I'm looking forward to this show.
