Lawsuit against series inventor and studio

Shortly before the start of broadcasting, it became known that series creator Eric Kripke, Sony Pictures Entertainment and NBCUniversal had been sued by the Spanish group Onza Entertainment , as the series had astonishing parallels to the Spanish series El Ministerio del Tiempo (The Ministry of Time). a. the leading cast also consists of one woman and two men with a similar mission. According to Onza , Sony initially agreed to produce a US version of the series in April 2015, but the talks broke off a little later when NBC announced that it would jointly produce the series, then called “Time”, with Sony.

reception

In the review of the online magazine Serienjunkies.de , Timeless was recommended to fans of the older time travel series Seven Days - Das Tor zur Zeit , as the series looks like a procedural from the 80s or 90s and features characters who are "a little old-fashioned" be. The pilot episode was rated 3 out of 5 stars.
