Time traveler James Cole travels from the year 2043 to the present day to stop the release of a deadly virus by the enigmatic organization known as "The Army of the Twelve Monkeys". That virus, in Cole's future, caused the death of most of the world's population. Led by a cryptic message from the past, Cole makes contact with the brilliant virologist Cassandra Railly, who he believes is the key to stopping the virus. Cole also enlists the help of Jennifer Goines (the insane daughter of the virus' creator), and his best friend Ramse to stop the initial outbreak. As Cole journeys through time in an effort to stop the virus, he realizes the Army of the 12 Monkeys have a larger, more mysterious agenda.

Does anyone else on here watch this? It's loosely based on the movie of the same name so it has the same general premise, but ends up diverging and pretty much becoming it's own entity with nods to the original.

I'm 7 episodes into the first season at the moment and I'm really into it. I expected I would be though, it combines a few of my favourite types of story (time travel, virus outbreak, mystery).

I haven't seen the movie it's based on but I think that's helped me enjoy the show without trying to compare them. I do know a fair bit about how the movie goes though and I think taking the approach of doing their own thing with the premise is a good idea, rather than trying to do the exact same thing. I know it had a lot of naysayers when it was first announced but from what I've seen online, it seems to have won a lot of people around.
