Its not as good I as expected. Basically a hybrid between Avatar, Lost and Jurassic Park. An early hype not helping much.

But after all, its still an early days. The series have an enormous potential. Big windows of timeline (2149 travel back to 85 million years) offers a limitless possibilities. Technologies beyond imagination, ancient creatures etc.

Nevertheless, its still a good stuff from a production associate to Steven Spielberg. After mediocre show of Falling Skies, this series will be a good remedy.

Synopsis

The show begins in the year 2149, a time when all life on planet Earth is threatened with extinction due to dwindling worldwide air quality and overpopulation. It has become virtually impossible for humanity to survive, and almost no vegetation exists. At Hope Plaza, a massive ring shaped structure in Chichago, scientists discover a rift in space-time that allows people to travel 85 million years back in time, but in an alternate timeline (thus avoiding paradoxes caused by reverse-flow time travel), offering a chance to save humanity. The Shannon family (father Jim, his wife Elisabeth, and their three children Josh, Maddy, and Zoe) join the tenth pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, becoming part of the first human colony on the other side of the temporal doorway.

The Shannon Family starts a new life in Terra Nova while having to deal with carnivorous dinosaurs and the Sixers (a splinter faction that has been opposed to Terra Nova ever since arriving in prehistoric times during the sixth pilgrimage).
