Sci Fi TV science or fiction?

Then yes, I do agree that, although 'consensus' is not the word I would use, such views have increased in popularity over the last years since they can be properly formulated and they solve several hard issues by invoquing the anthropic principle. And although many would dismiss them as untestable, there are actually some ideas proposing that the existence of other bubbles might have observable (and therefore testable) implications in our own bubble. At any rate, still speculation though.

I don't care too much about the BB itself, we just don't know, so let's concentrate on the period we more or less know, which according to many experts is as from around 3 minutes after the BB, although to be sure we can even take the time of decoupling (when the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation was produced) which was some 350,000 years after the BB and this we know rather well because it's the first event we can actually see and analyse. So you're saying that since that moment it has always been infinite, but its infinity has been growing larger until now. OK I get it now, but I'd like to see somewhere mentioning that this is 'the current consensus'. I am completely unaware that this is the case. Honestly this is the first time I read this hypothesis being seriously mentioned.

While there are indeed hypothesis in this direction, it does not make a big difference regarding the question whether the universe is finite or infinite in our eon (in these theories an eon is the period between a bounce and the next). Rather, they would reinforce the idea that it must be finite, since it is hard to imagine something that bangs and collapses repeatedly and yet achieves to reach infinite size at some point in its temporal history.

Do you mean spatially or temporally. "Located" implies spatially, in which case it is here, there and everywhere - time began everywhere at the same moment.
