That is the basic premise, but the show is complicated from a character and moral standpoint. Season 1 gives you a taste of how complicated things will get and by Season 3 things are far from simple. Characters change and their true motives are revealed. Or, at least, what they decide to reveal.
While Liber8 is said to be the villain of the series from the first scene: Are they really evil or are they going about doing something good in an extreme manner?
The future is far from perfect with something called the Corporate Congress being in charge. Our first reactions to the future are shown to us through the eyes of Kiera Cameron. A character who is highly biased in favor the future.
I feel Liber8 has a noble goal, but that they aren't shinning angels because of how much they are willing to do for their cause. This is awesome because the show doesn't paint the bad guys as truly evil and makes you put yourselves in their shoes. So you can disagree but respect their end goal at the same time.
Another big question in the series is should the future be changed.
During the first Season the answer seems to be no with only a few minor points against it. But as the series goes on, and you see how horrible the future is, you start agreeing more with the fact that the future should be changed. In the beginning of the third Season it appears that it is extremely dangerous to attempt to change the future.
However, the fact remains that if you have the power to change the future it's in the grey area of morality if you should.
Those are the two main reasons why I love this show. It makes you question the series and see people as people instead of just good and bad.
If you love time travel and like good storytelling, I highly recommend this show to you.
