It was just a thought... brainstorming and stuffz.
I do like the sound of rewound but if it doesn't work with the story you have in mind, no worries,
I'm sure somebody will come up with something else.

Yeah I like it too. Sucks that it would give the wrong impression... especially after the first season if there is a second ^.^|

Lets try to stay away from the time aspect as it's a one time thing and not recurrent ^.^
So basically...
We have a guy trying to prevent his own death, acting as a vigilante (as opposed to a registered hero), and apparently fighting against some corp for the first season.
We have a heroin that somehow gets involved with this guy... Doesn't like what he's doing but doesn't or can't stop him.
We also have someone who's goal it is to set this all into motion that we don't know.
From there is a few things that can/will logically happen...
Eventually the main char and female heroin team up or are view each other as arch enemies eventually, but are still pretty much on friendly terms...pretty much a Batman/Catwoman relationship.
The guy behind it all is either doing it for a greater good and eventually will reveal themselves and tell him what that is. Or they will reveal themselves to be doing for personal gain or a distraction to some other event that the main char prevents such as the female heroin is supposed to become some major hero and now she's not cuz of their interaction or perhaps this interaction caused the heroin to become the major hero rather than preventing her...
Basically from the fact that there is someone else manipulating things there is a guarantee that that force is trying to cause them to get stronger or weaker to confront and win/lose against some event that will happen in the near future.
I don't think the guy's gonna make it that far if he has to rely so much on heroin to get the job done.
Blacklisted
"I'AM SATANS FAVORITE CHILD!!"
How about: Alterations. You could have an overarching theme of trying to change or alter a fundamental event, moment or element of oneself. In this chapter, it is the man's impending death, in another it could be overcoming a certain flaw, perhaps another, it could be a villain trying to right his wrongs and salvage some important relationship.
I think it has enough appeal in and of itself, and can be used to fit MANY different story arcs.

btw... I don't mean to keep knocking ideas down... just trying to get something that fits right.

No worries, everyone knew what you meant.

I think I got the title...
Sacrosanct
It sets up a question of, "what do you hold sacred" as in, what is right? What is wrong? and To what lengths will you go to accomplish something? Is messing with time ok? what about life?
I likes it. How bout you guys?

P.S. not a fan of Sacrosanct personally... it has heavy religious (read nonsensical) implications.
Agreed. I can't see that word outside of a religious context... which I think would be at odds with gaining a following and/or the actual stories you plan to do.
Also thought of these too, but I like Sacrosanct, for various reasons (though probably the very reasons some might not like it)
Shadow Shift
Ghost Revision

Shadow/Ghost = There is something that is happening that we don't know about.
Shift/Revision = move, modify, change, alter...
so the force that we don't know about is trying to do something...
Shadow Shift just sounds nice
Ghost Revision sounds ok... seems like a name that has to grow on you.
Why not something like "Hidden Agendas" then? It is far more direct. Using something like "Shadow Shift" to my mind would be a show about some darkness based character, or literally about shadows, and the things that may change within them.
While I can see what you are getting at... I don't think getting symbolic in a title is really the way to go. A title needs to immediately evoke something that the reader/viewer can tie to the premise, or at least something related. Exceptions lie in situations where you are deliberately deceiving the viewer for the sake of plot, or purposeful non sequitor titles.
Name five good shows/comics who's titles are allusions, or purely symbolic representations of the premise.
A good example of a serial type show that has an evocative yet indirect title would be Tales from the Crypt. Immediately, you know the show will be somewhat macabre (from crypt) that it may involve stories (tales) and that those stories will likely be macabre (from). None of the segments in that show were related really (okay, there may have been one or two "to be continued" ones, but I don't know) yet the title still reflects the entire idea of the show.
"Hidden Agendas" doesn't sound good and it doesn't work with anything till after this first arc.
Basically there is a twist at the end that reveals who sent the guy back in time, but not why.
So the story goes from...
Must stop my own death
Twist
Why did that guy do that?
The Twist is not so much who the person is but what happens...
There is no known hidden agenda at that point... Just "What happened? Gotta stop it from happening again!"... and then someone else saying they have a hidden agenda comes up.
Of course there is always the easy way out and either name it after the main char or the main group...which should form officially after the first arc. Of course then need to design and name those things ^.^
For something that's not going to be a lot of work, just settling on a title is taking a long time...

@CR
The problem I see with that is exactly what would be good about it...The guy isn't rewound, but rather two copies of him exist. The him that led up to his murder and the him that was sent back in time. Mender time travel is different as it pretty much sends the consciousness back to it's body in the past (if it exists or was after the point you became a hero) while this is taking the body and consciousness and sending it back to that time period together.
Of course this becomes an obvious paradox, if he doesn't get shot he doesn't go back in time and thus doesn't try to save himself so he can't stop himself from being shot so he is shot and can but then can't...
So while it's sound good and all it would give the wrong impression of what's happening as it seems it already has ^.^
