Continuum
The future is in her hands.
The series centers on the conflict between a group of rebels from the year 2077 who time-travel to Vancouver, BC, in 2012, and a police officer who accidentally accompanies them. In spite of being many years early, the rebel group decides to continue its violent campaign to stop corporations of the future from replacing governments, while the police officer endeavours to stop them without revealing to anyone that she and the rebels are from the future.

It's a Dystopian Utopia of Sci-Fi Goodness
Wokeness: The Patriarchy: occasional references to things like "the glass ceiling" are infrequent but jarring. Girl Boss Alert: Tiny women that are not super soldiers and without sci-fi power suits easily take out 250 lb trained combatants in hand to hand combat.
My opinion: Continuum is one of the best written and acted modern sci-fi series I've seen. If you find the pilot a bit clunky, stick with it as it gets better.
What are you in for? It explores themes of dystopian future societies, evil corporations, guerilla uprisings, super soldiers, fancy future tech, and most importantly, time travel and all the questions it raises. It can be brutal and violent. Alliances constantly shift and characters can be profoundly shaped by events, while many wrestle with their personal agendas, moral codes, commitments to causes and the future they want to realize. It also has a proper ending, which often doesn't happen when shows are canceled.
