I am going to start this review by saying that Times is a solid and well-written show. I love the way they applied the time-warp concept. I think the distortion that enabled the cross-times connection, the seemingly unpredictable and ever-changing future (or present reality, depends on how you see it) because of it, and the X factor that hindered the main characters from creating a perfect new reality (in which everyone is happy and well) were not merely treated as means to build the suspense.

The cross-times connection and the changing realities proposed a question about personal values and power; will you get swayed once you are in a close proximity to power, will you stay true to your values if you are in a position of power. While the show felt less enthralling once it entered the more political-drama-centered half of the show, it was still enjoyable. I personally think it was necessary as it served as the bridge between the two genres. The show also touched on abuse of power and technology. I think the show did a good job in weaving these themes to the plot.

The soundtracks are great, but I don't think they were effective in creating certain atmosphere or adding more depth to the experience. I like how the characters were all actively involved in the whole thing, regardless they were aware or not aware about the cross-times connection. The leads are amazing and I just love their connection!
