Time Helmet offers a playful indie comedy about regret, responsibility, and the dangers of giving a frustrated inventor access to the timeline.

Vladimir is clever without being smug, provocative without resorting to cheap tricks. Rachel Weisz anchors the series with a performance that invites us to laugh, wince and worry in equal measure.
