Since some mainline good stuff is already mentioned, I'll mention something not already said.
I enjoyed Travelers a lot. The budget constraints show at times, but it gets some very different and compelling overtones and images. The Director speaking from outside of time, one sentence at a time through different people about to die of natural causes... evocative stuff right there.
Doesn't seem like overanalyzing. I got an bit of an insulting vibe from it too. Stars are human made projections, astronomy looks super closely at the floor.
Composition wise, the light direction is a bit confusing. Bright spot under woman from her moved curtain, so light source above? But ceiling doesn't have holes to project stars. Bright spot under woman coming from the kid's moved curtain, so light source more behind and low. Floor spots don't match the holes we see in the back wall. And where are the crescent light spot coming from?
See that is some overanalyzing.
addendum... Maybe crescent from his head? Light source is relatively close to the curtains splaying the back wall projection out radially on the floor.
