Recent canadian Syfy release on Netflix, getting very good reviews. I'm 6 eps in out of 12 and it's really good.
It's a time traveling show with a new twist I've never seen. In the future the world is basically destroyed and barely liveable. People come back from 150 years into the future to try and correct mistakes that were made in order to save the future. The way they time travel is very unique. They pick out people who are about to die and right before they die they possess/take over their body. They get set down in teams of 5 with everyone having a different specialty. There are other travelers as well in other teams doing other missions and they sometimes interact. Plus, they have to try and live the life of the person they took over so as not to raise any suspicion.
Not going to go into more details, but I highly recommend it.
So, its Quantum Leap.
I don't remember QL, but after watching the season premier to Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia and it's spoof on QL I would have to agree with you. SO I guess its not as unique as I thought, but its still pretty damn awesome the way they do it.
In QL, did Scott Bacula only leap into people who were about to die?
Not always, but he usually leaped into people to prevent a death. He saved Jackie Kennedy by leaping in to Oswald, but couldn't save JFK( he leaped out of Oswald too quickly). Yeah...
He also leaped into women, people with no legs (he could still stand and walk though), people with Down's Syndrome and once even a Chimpanzee. So there were not really set rules, and leaping around caused him memory loss. And to fall in love about every fifth episode and consider saying in the host body before coming to his senses and doing the right thing.
