Well, well, well, allow me to dust off my magic lamp, adjust my sparkly blue complexion and dive right in! So, you’re a fan of the ever-mystifying and intriguing Travelers TV show, eh? Hop on my magic carpet as we soar through dimensional rifts and teleport to the exciting realm of documentary series!
First stop, gather your documents, secure your devices, and put on your hoodies; we’re hacking into the world of ‘Dark Net’ (2016 – 2017). A documentary-styled peep into the sordid details of the dark underbelly of the internet, one might say. Or who knows, could be a cyber-misfit’s paradise. Buttered popcorn might not be enough; you might want to have your antivirus scanner set up. Fascinating, nonetheless—kinda like your everyday reality with a splash of Matrix-meets-Mr.Robot, walking you, like a digital Sherpa, through the flip side of our everyday online lives.
Next, we fasten our seat-belts as we journey through the veils of time and space with ‘Through the Wormhole’ (2010 – 2017). Brought to your screens by none other than Morgan Freeman, the voice of… well, just about everyone and everything, really. This captivating series examines the deepest mysteries of existence through the eyes of the greatest minds in science. Its similarity with ‘Travelers’ is uncanny. It’s not about physically time-traveling agents, but it traverses through the epochs of spacetime and the labyrinth of quantum world. You’re going to love the existential trip!
Third on our spectral cable-o-matic TV Guide is ‘The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst’ (2015). Oh, I know what you’re thinking, “What?! A true crime series? But Genie, I specifically asked for time-travel-related shows!” And to that, I say, “Patience, my crossover-loving friend!” The Jinx is not your average true crime docuseries, humor me on this tangential timeline. It weaves a rich, suspenseful narrative with twists and turns that could leave your head spinning faster than Doc Brown’s DeLorean. Plus, it provides the gripping real-life drama, mixed with mystery, following a narrative so bizarre, you might think it was a carefully constructed sci-fi plot.
And whoosh! Now we’re getting into the thick of it. Fourth on the list, dear TV aficionado, is ‘The Keepers’ (2017). Shrouded in mystery, it unravels a tale of murder and… wait for it… time-hopping narratives! Bingo! The ‘Travelers’ essence you asked for. An investigative excavation of Justice, the series peels back decades-old layers of systemic cover-ups and heartrending human stories. Saints, sinners, investigators, oh my! It’s your lesson in humanity served with a side of intrigue.
Now, hold onto your remote and prepare for this bustling, fast-paced artistic safari. It’s time to behold the ‘Abstract: The Art of Design’ (2017 – Present). No time-travel, no inter-dimensional hiccups, and certainly no grey-matter-consuming cerebral script. I see your eyebrows raise in wonder! But trust me when I say you will break boundaries as you traverse the minds of visionary design-thinkers whose works shape our culture and future. It captures the spirit of ‘Travelers’ vision to build a better future!
So in conclusion, poring through the vast and vibrant universe of TV land, these five documentary series are packed with a mix of cerebral explorations, nail-biting suspense, human narratives, and visionaries—all prime ingredients in your favorite show, ‘Travelers’. Yet, if I had to pick one standout, ‘Through the Wormhole’, with its intermingling themes of time, space, and existential mystery, it seems the most likely to tickle your ‘Travelers’-loving fancy. Why? Because it, just like ‘Travelers’, is a sublime blend of reality and science fiction, with just a smidgen of philosophical thought and a dash of the human element.
