A word of warning, this is not only a spoiler, but probably illustrates the plot in the same way saying all of John Grisham's have a lawyer in who against all odds will win their case.
A simple description of this series would be Sliders, with a soon to be married Danny (Blake Harrison) and a dishevelled habitual drug taker Milo (George Webster), where Tripped gets its name.
The first episode starts quite well, Danny is established as a Pet Insurance salesman, no less than 3 times. This establishes his change from similarly drug addled teenager since meeting his future partner Kate (Georgina Campbell). Milo, upset at not being chosen to be best man, proceeds to down lots of magic mushrooms and go home.
At which point a warrior appears, looking like Danny and proceeds to tell him very little, to a stoned Milo. The only details clear was a name and also that a guy was trying to kill all of the Danny's and Milo's. At which point it appears.
This, is where it starts to go downhill. Characters created, now they repeat their one dimensional pattern.
Danny will get upset his fiancée (or dimension match) is with someone else. Danny will try to speak to one of the Kate's as if they were his fiancée. Milo will do something idiotic with the wristband meaning they are trapped. Milo will do something to cause him to argue with Danny resulting in something happening while they are arguing. Milo will choose to do something idiotic to take advantage of a new world leading them to be in danger. They will get attacked amongst all of this.
I think the main fault of the series is a lack of development with the characters and too many infuriating moments. The ability to 'reset' an episode so it is the same every week, is all well and good, unless the characters repeat mistakes. When the mistakes are too similar (two straight episodes where the watch is lost due to Milo), it's no longer predictable, its expected. The acting is really good considering the material available, but the writing is poor and episode plots seem automatically generated. Might appeal to real life Milo's.
If you miss Sliders, this is still a poor substitute. You might want to check out Rick and Morty though, that's pretty good.
