Shows like Plan B

Time travel serves as a mechanism to explore human regret and the consequences of altering personal history. These shows trade high-tech spectacle for the knotty moral dilemmas that arise when the past becomes a variable rather than a fixed point.

Viewers drawn to the structural shifting of time in Plan B will find similar themes of causality and fate across these selections. The Lazarus Project and Steins;Gate offer further meditations on how individual choices ripple outward to reshape entire lives. Each narrative focuses on the heavy cost of trying to rewrite events that have already transpired.
