A short, well-written time travel thriller that you should definitely watch.
Reset does a good job of keeping things relatively simple: there’s a bomb on the bus, and we gotta figure out whodunnit and how to save everyone. Things keep going wrong, our main duo die or fall asleep, and then wake back up on the bus. They keep living the same day over and over again. Despite all the loops I don’t think it’s confusing, though I did feel my head spinning at a certain point. It was interesting seeing how they handled the time loops differently each time. I didn’t like the cops in this show so I was like “ugh go away, our time travelers are trying to save everyone and you’re stopping them.” Our main duo are absolutely fantastic. I appreciate that they aren’t super geniuses or total dummies. They feel very human; they make mistakes, they’re impulsive, they get progressively tired and traumatized as they experience terrible things over and over. Sometimes they want to give up, as they don’t want to put themselves through it all again. Their relationship also builds and it’s fun seeing them grow closer. You really care about them and want them to figure things out. I appreciate that you get to know the other passengers as well. It makes them feel more like real people, so you’re even more invested in saving them. The villain is also well-written and their motivation makes sense. The progression of the story unfolds nicely, as you do learn more and more with each loop. Occasionally the loops are played for comedic effect as well. I do think this probably could’ve been a 12 episode show as it did feel like there could have been fewer loops, but aside from that I don’t think I really have any criticism about it. The ending is great as well.
