    Simply a masterpiece. The best TV series based on time travel ever made. A series too undervalued. Simply incredible, watch it.
    The critic who assigns a vote below 80 does not understand a ****

    I'm not judging only this last season, which started in an incredible way, a quality that could deserve 10/10, but the whole series and this season. The series has improved episode after episode to become one of the best TV series of all time and certainly the best ever created on time travel.

    A fantastic tv series! I thought I was looking at a medium level series (given the reviews of the critics), but it seems like a series of extreme quality. You can not give less than 90 to 12 Monkeys. Thanks to the authors and actors for this magnificent series. Thank you.

    The best TV series of the last 10 years together with Breaking Bad. Watch it absolutely. Do not listen to the negative opinions of the critics. Trust me. Finally a series of well-recited trips based on time travel and above all written very well.

    My God what a beautiful series. It exceeded all my expectations. Wonderful. Recommended vision for everyone, especially for fans of stories about time travel.

    I started this series only a few days ago thanks to user reviews. I completely agree with the reviews of other users. Once again it has been shown that specialized critics do not know a **** Beautiful series, watch it otherwise you miss one of the best series ever.

    Disappointed overall with the series. I liked seasons 1 - 2 but much of season 3 and 4 was ridiculous. I am a sci-fi fan (BSG ranks near the top of my all time list) but this show fizzled for me. I stuck it out hoping for an emotional payoff but the ending did not satisfy. Its not that I wanted a different ending, I just didn't care if Cole and Cassie were together.

Its not that I wanted a different ending, I just didn't care if Cole and Cassie were together. And how everything was magically fixed was not well explained. Best part was finding Olivia's skeletal remains with traces of the virus. I guess that was my favorite part of the ending. But "Don't You Forget About Me" scenes almost ruins the Breakfast Club and Pitch Perfect. Expand

    Surely we are in front of a great TV series, a great story, one of the best I've ever seen, but before giving a perfect score I want to see if the authors will be able to worthily conclude the series from the narrative point of view. I hope they will succeed, great series. Watch it.

    The complexity to which the stories and characters are woven together over 4 seasons is superb. I was originally skeptical when the series was announced. What could it add to the "12 Monkeys" movie mythology? I am happy to say that I was very wrong. "12 Monkeys" is one of the best sci fi shows E-V-E-R on TV. There's something for everyone.

"12 Monkeys" is one of the best sci fi shows E-V-E-R on TV. There's something for everyone. There's time travel, apocalyptic events, a love story, life lessons and great humor. Jennifer Goines (Emily Hampshire) is one of the highlights of the series. The WWII episode where she sings Pink's "U + Ur Hand" to a room full of Nazi officers is a delight.

    So what have we learned from "12 Monkeys"? No matter what the odds, never given up. Hope always wins over despair. Love transcends all (even time). Live in the moment because that's all we have.

    12 Monkeys is an incredible and very underrated series. It seems to me that he received a reception similar to another very underrated series called Black Sails (the best pirate series ever). 12 Monkeys is the same thing: the best series on time travel. There is no comparison to other series like Travelers or Timeless, 12 Monkeys is on another level. In short, it is a point of reference to12 Monkeys is an incredible and very underrated series.

    I registered on the site immediately after seeing the first 6 episodes of this season of 12 Monkeys because I had a great desire to talk about this wonderful series. 12 Monkeys has reached a very high level, so much to be added among the best ever series. If even the last 3 episodes and the final maintain this high quality, we are facing a veritable masterpiece of television history.

    Having watched all 4 seasons, I have to say that this is a great show. If you like sci-fi, it's for you, if you're into love stories, it's for you, if you enjoy cheeky humor carried out by representative and funny characters, it's for you. And it is done well.

If you like sci-fi, it's for you, if you're into love stories, it's for you, if you enjoy cheeky humor carried out by representative and funny characters, it's for you. And it is done well. Story progresses smoothly and at a fast pace, but still well written and so complex and filled with cliffhangers that it demands you keep paying attention every single minute. Character's arches and evolutions are so rewarding and emotional that they really make you care.

    The show does go on a descending line though, as the first two seasons keep you at the edge of your seat while the latter two are not that intense and excitement keeps falling to recover at the very end with the season finale. That little "excitement gap" is why I don't give it a higher score, but maybe I'm being a little too demanding since I've come to expect so much from this show and its writers.

    Summing up: watch it, it's worth it.

    For a show steeped in apocalyptic dread and regret, 12 Monkeys has a surprisingly light sense of humor. It helps that the cast is so rock solid. ... Here’s a world-bending time odyssey with a profound adoration for the ghosts of TV junk past.
