If I Hadn't Met You

Anyone who has lost a loved one in death, or is in a relationship which began in deep love but then cooled off needs to see this series. The character development and various storylines are deep. Caveat Emptor: you will cry during every episode.

This is one show that was so beautifully written that I cried for almost every episode and it made me really appreciate the intimacy between science and love. I wish the score was on Spotify or somewhere radio accessible because the score - and Andrea Ros' voice - was a plot device itself.

It does start out slow, but it is worth it. This is not a glitzy action-packed sci-fi story, though it does have its satisfying time-travel/parallel universe moments. At the end I found myself caring for all the characters and riveted by the events as they unfolded, even as I foresaw a major development before it was revealed.

I started to watch it with the English dubbing, but found it was a much richer experience to watch with the original audio (Catalan) with English subtitles.

'If I hadn't met you' has quickly become my favourite TV show at the moment. I love time travel and parallel universe themes and this does the subjects justice. It never falls into clichés and constantly surprises. The overarching theme of grief and regret suits the slow pace wonderfully. Although nothing like it really, it reminds me of The Leftovers, which I think is one off the best TV shows ever made. Anyway I thoroughly recommend IIHMY.. Can't wait for season 2.

I see some people complaining about this series being slow, however, that's the idea: An ordinary guy realizes he can travel through parallel universes but he is neither a scientist nor he's read about time travelling in his whole life. How on earth would he rush on things? Do you want him to have some powers and by changing one thing being a renowned genius? Sorry, but we have a normal skilled adult man this time!

Anyway, after some "trips" you get kind of mad because the MC doesn't seem to learn from his mistakes. Had I been the scriptwriter, I would have increased his IQ a bit .

It's wonderful when a "new" story starts in other universe because we have to pay attention to every single difference and details in situations, things and characters personalities.

I highly recommend you don't watch this show dubbed but subbed. It's much more enjoyable (and totally different) with the original voices.

I've seen plenty of parallel universes and time travel stuff such as The Butterfly Effect, Mr Nobody, Star Trek, Steins;Gate, Life Is Strange (this is a game) and I have to say this is at the same (and sometimes even a higher) level.

Just be patient with the overused and kind of everlasting drama, it'll all make sense and you'll get some single-episode-cliffhangers which you will either hate or love! LOL
