IDK thought that’d be a cool concept, like some guy is trying to change the past, but he can’t get to the exact date he needs to, and so has to overshoot to ensure he doesn’t pass it and has to deal with whatever time he shows up in.

There was a pretty whelming show called Travelers that had a similar premise of restrictions on time travel, but instead of imprecise its the opposite, it has to be so precise that it’s very limiting because you can’t send matter back in time, only information so they take over host bodies at very specific locations and moments. If they have the coordinates or the time incorrect, it misfires and the mind of the traveler just is lost.
Due to butterfly effect shit changing the future, there’s tons of rules like you can’t travel back further than any previous trip. They started as early as they could once cell phones were invented and they had coordinates, and then only sent back new travelers after that point in time. Basically there’s future day 0 when they first tested time travel, and past day 0 when the first time traveler arrived. Those two times are synched up, and the future travelers have to come back at the same time (future day 252 and past day 252, etc).
“Pretty whelming” is accurate. That show had so much potential and the writers just fumbled it from basically the very beginning.
Yeah very cool concept, bland network TV execution
