Thanks for the detailed review. Time travel, crime, media and the daily lives and struggles of 4 people. I am curious to know more. Will add this to my list to read

I love psychological thrillers, and time traveling put into a TV show sounds unique. It's too bad that there is so much he said she said instead of action going on, but that will not be enough to deter me from trying this book.

A book about a TV show, conspiracy theories and retracing history to capture evidence has got to be a page-turner. Thank you for your very detailed review.

What a cool premise for the book! I can't wait to see what is really behind broadcast's episodes and see from where they are pulling their content!

Thanks for this detailed review. I share your sentiment about the simple writing style of the author, and since this is one of my genres I'm looking forward to reading this book in its entirety. It's a fascinating story!

This is a really great review. Time travel and action makes the book seem like an interesting read. Not sure how I feel about the ending. I’d like a better ending. For that, I probably won’t read.

Your review has me wanting to know whether the broadcasts are real or not! Great summary. I read the first few pages and nothing particularly caught my interest so I think I'll be passing on this book. Thanks for the review. :)

Great review but I think is not necessary to almost spoil the end like that. Dont get me wrong. Nothing specific was said but just the mere hint bothers me. I liked the theme of this book. Would like to see how this mix of time traveling and the show works out.

Sounds super interesting. I had assumed the videos were from satellites but not if they're depicting events so long ago. I will have to keep a look out for the full book.

The tv show within the story sounds really interesting, but I don’t think the book itself is for me, as I’m very picky about the types of mysteries I read. Also, rushed endings really irritate me.

Time travel is such an interesting thing to talk about, I would like to see how it is implemented here. The Terminator movies used it as a plot device and did it very well. I have seen other movies that used it, but nowhere near as well. Hopefully, it turns out for the better.
