The Way Homestarted out as a simple story of three generations of women connecting and reconnecting with one another decades after the two tragedies that ruptured their family. It became one of the most interesting time travel shows on television, slowly unraveling a complex and detailed story over the course of its first three seasons. Each one of these seasons balanced between a focus on the present-day timeline and one of the past timelines, whether that be 1999, 1814, or 1974.
