Hundreds of years from now, the last surviving humans discover the means of sending consciousness back through time, directly into people in the 21st century. These "travelers" assume the lives of seemingly random people, while secretly working as teams to perform missions in order to save humanity from a terrible future.
This tv show contains 48 potentially triggering events.
There is one particularly graphic scene of a character cutting herself with a scalpel (for surgical reasons) and a few other uses of scalpels through the show.
Marcy's original host was intellectually disabled. Our version of Marcy is not intellectually disabled, but the actor plays the disabled version of the character in some scenes.
Heroin, some kind of eye drop drug of the future, cannabis (to treat PTSD), and there are other things hinted at. One of the stars goes to addiction support meetings.
They go to visit a troubled kid, who has a sort of taxidermy operation going on. There are a lot of wildlife bodies all around. Later there is a rabbit in a trap and a suffering coyote.
At one point a patient is given some nanites that are misprogrammed and begin to steal all oxygen within the patient’s body. They struggle to breathe but are saved.
No, but there's an episode where a child's death is heavily implied/assumed and the twist is that the kid is alive. Arguably, a seventeen yr old dies, but his death is not shown or referenced
A friend of the main character Philip’s host dies of heroin overdose. There is also reference to it after this episode, Philip attends the funeral but is not welcome and it’s assumed the overdose could have been prevented.
one of the hosts has a wife and when taken over by a traveler he continues his relationship with another traveler. The wife does not know that her husband has been taken over and correctly assumes he is in another relationship.
No, but later in the show Philip projects and sees situations happening from other timelines that aren’t actually happening so that’s a little reminiscent of ghosts
The premise of the show is that other souls take over people's bodies when they die; outside of that, children (and occasionally adults) are taken over to deliver messages. Adults die immediately after delivering messages while children are merely disoriented.
season 1 philip is struggling with addiction and pukes once or twice, i’m rewatching now to find the timestamps. s1e2 18:11 it’s philip, s3e4 19:00 it’s david, s3e8 4:00 it’s the dude in the pickup.
Not in a trans context, but fhe characters all take on new names when they arrive in the 21st century and there's a lot of tension around discussions of their old identifies.
Yes, but not in the typical sense. A medic performs minor surgery on herself--the surgery is medically advised, although there wasn't rly a reason for her to do it herself.
A main character's host was mistreated in a hospital setting and left on the street; the same character is called r*tarded by an antagonist. All of the above are condemned within the narrative.
No, but one of the main characters is black amd it's implied through another characteristic drug induced hallucination that the original identity of the traveler before taking that host was white.
