I watched it many years ago and the younger me, liked it a lot.
As I got older, with access to streaming online, I watched them again and found it really annoying.
It is yet another stereotypical american TV show to help them feel superior in being the saviors of the world, while in the mean time, twisting the history into something more acceptable and less awful for the young people who never know about them other than what they see on these TV shows.
One thing that just bugs the hell out of me is that no one seems to care that he keeps jumping back 7 days in time and stays in that timeline, together with the "old" version of him still around.
Nowhere we see any sign of the old time line character, neither any storage with all the copies of the time capsule they retrieve after each jump.
Of course, one key subject in the show is the redscare of the 80s and stereotype of a smart Russian scientists who don't seem to have any problem being sexualized and harassed by the "super hero", nor does any of his coworkers or bosses as if this was in the 1950s or something.
