For years, the sentai genre has been touted as kid stuff. And while this may be true in most cases, you cannot deny that after watching the first few episodes of TimeRanger that you get drawn in. The premise is simple: 4 people from the year 3000 get hurtled back into the year 2000 in order to capture a group of escaped prisoners (as well as an entire prison of people in suspended animation). With the help of a young man from 2K, they set up shop and begin the long, drawn out task of defeating creature after creature to return to their time. However, as time goes on, the plot begins to thicken and some very interesting twists are thrown in. And THIS is what I like about it the most. If anyone is curious about the show and they want to check it out, I say go for it. It's something you won't regret.

Warning: Spoilers
In the year 3000 a special task force is being assembled. Cadets will be trained and then a group selected to travel back to the year 2000 with their captain and prevent powerful criminals from their own time from taking over the world.
When a break-out in prison occurs, the captain chooses four cadets at random and takes them with him, but as the Time Ship hurtles towards the Gate, the prison tower appears in front of them. The captain shoots the navigation robot to prevent it from aborting the jump, and the ship hurtles into the past with the prison tower.
