Coming Fall 2016, Timeless
First thing I noticed in the comments were a barrage of, "this rips off El Ministerio Del Tiempo," accusations. My initial reaction is, what time travel to fix/save history show isn't a rip-off of previous time travel to fix/save history shows? But, it looks like there was a pitch to adapt that NBC turned down before green-lighting this one, and the plot around the lead history saver's role and the composition of her team may be the elements ganked.
Didn't find EMDT on streaming sites, but it's available through rtve.es (without English subtitles), but with a transcript to facilitate translation.

Sadly, the ones they weren't laughing at were just as fucking nuts, and no pundit could bring themselves to acknowledge it.
Related: This Salon piece that looks like trolling, but could prove to be an accurate diagnosis. It's not that he that he talks like a (belligerent, racist, paranoid) third grader, it's that he's got less cognition than one.
