Time After Time

OK, so the show is a bit cheesy at times but I really enjoyed it. I watch a lot of crime shows so it's nice to find a show like this. It is not dark like many of them are. I like the idea of love at first sight so that is a draw for me. I enjoy science fiction and mystery. This show seems to have it and I'd like to see where they take it. I think it has potential and I want to see what they do with it. I've seen the movie and while it was a decent I like the show far better.

I loved the 1979 movie of the same name. It was the definition of charming. This series began here with the first two episodes and I was impressed favourably. The three leads are as charming as can be with John performed brilliantly with an oozing, psychopathic, warped evil that begins with his eyes and inhabits the actor's whole being. I find it hard to believe that he was recently the weak Daniel in Revenge. The other two are new to me. I beg to differ with some others here who seem to find Jane unattractive; I find her cute and beautiful and a fine wee actress. Wells also seemed more than competent in such a strange role. I had hoped for the time machine from the Rod Taylor movie but this one, especially with the ice on the windows, seems quite fine. I have enjoyed Timeless for the most part though its egregious historical errors exceeded anything on this show. I give this a weak 8 in hopes of a surer hand in writing and direction as the series gets its feet under it. I certainly would recommend it to friends.

Sorry to hear about it's demise. Refreshing and informative. Good acting, well rounded cast and the writing is very good. Want it to stay on the air. Can't finally watch something entertaining rather than controversial? For a change - give us something rather than quickly taking it away.

I will say that I am not usually one to appreciate the shows about history or really anything to do with history for that matter but I have to say that I have been watching this show and loving it just seems like it is more fun than learning yes I know that.jack. was a terrible terrible man who is now dead but he makes a hell of a villain for this type of thing I think people can do much worse than watching this show it is a good time and super fun and exciting that is why I tune in to it every week and enjoy it more as it goes on Sunday is now funday and after going to church I catch up on my guilty pleasure which is this I say watch it

I'm left scratching my head at the negative reviews this series has attracted. Maybe its mostly H.G. Wells purists, who don't like adaptations of his work?

Indeed, to be fair, there have been some horrible adaptations, of Wells stories. Thankfully, this is not one of them. Certainly, it by no means adhere's to the facts of Well's life or strictly speaking his stories as written but so what?

The fact is this is a well made series that's a mix of thriller and sci fi action. Viewed from this perspective its extremely enjoyable. The characterizations have depth, the sci fi elements meld into a Wells- ian centric universe and the action is well paced and enjoyable. I especially like how the series writers have creatively blended elements of H.G. Wells life and literature and the Jack The Ripper murder mystery.

Sure its a far fetched yarn but its still engaging stuff.I really like this series and plan to keep watching. Seven out of ten from me.
