Netflix recently announced plans to make half its content original. Since that announcement, there's been a considerable rise in content available to stream. The streaming service has made it a mission to make their content reach a wide audience. From an Ashton Kutcher sitcom to cooking shows to Adam Sandler films, there's something for everyone to enjoy. Three of Netflix's latest dramas center on a mystery that needs to be solved.
Eric McCormack leads Netflix original "Travelers"
Eric McCormack ("Will & Grace") leads the Netflix original "Travelers," currently available to binge watch.
"Travelers" is a sci-fi story about a group of people who travel from the future to take over bodies of people about to die in the present. Their mission: to save the future. "Travelers" offers a fresh take on the concept of time travel. There isn't a fast running superhero or a phone booth, instead, they send their own consciousness back to the present. Five people are set to die on the same day, but before their final moments are up, a traveler makes their way back and takes over the body.
