Not sure how many people remember or have watched 'Continuum', but apparently it's already been 13 years since it premiered in Canada on the Showcase channel on May 27, 2012. The show was about time travel, and had its protagonist find herself in present time, chasing a group of escaped criminals who were trying to change the future where governments have collapsed and corporations have taken over and formed an oligarchy run by CEOs in the form of the Global Corporate Congress.

Initially she is trying to stop them, but as the story unfolds and she realises that the system she is trying to protect is not just flawed but a dystopian corporate dictatorship, things get complicated. And boy that was definitely a premise. It was a solid Sci-Fi series that didn't get much love, but it did last for 4 season and got a proper ending that wraps the story up and offers an all in all satisfying conclusion.

Here in Boston we are very lucky that for some reason, Shari Redstone decided not only to keep #Showcase as a going concern but upgrade them to some of the nicest theatres in the country.

Which is why now, every time I book a #movie ticket, I have a creeping sense of dread that once the Oracle guy's failson gets his hands on the company, enshittification of my fucking awesome #cinema will not be far behind.
