The Time Traveler's Wife

This episode showed me it has a lot of potential an I am looking forward to the next one!

After reading the book, the 2009 movie left me with a bitter taste. The book is so rich (as they always are), and the movie adaption just didn't do it for me. It was too fast moving, like it was running through the novel, trying to fit the whole timeline these to characters have, but lacking in the depth, at least for me.

This on the other had, will be slower paced, and already the first episode showed the chemistry these two actors demonstrate, and the well done, funny and layered script!

I think this mini series is going to be a real gem, and am happy this beautiful love story will get the adaptation it deserves.

Although a few liberties have been taken - some a tad cheesy, the series remains true to the universe created by Audrey Niffenegger. They have added paradoxes to the time traveling timeline that I'm sure the novel's author must be beating herself for not thinking of those.

What I loved about the novel and now the series is that it is a love story set against a larger than life background.

I'm a sucker for romance and sci-fi and this brings both together so I love it so much. It felt like I was watching a movie and it's only the first episode and I'm so fired up for the next, I just wanna keep watching. I love a hopeless or unrealistic love story that's somehow been made to work. It's so unique, there's so many time travel movies and tv I've seen but those are usually focused more on the sci-fi element or comedy, while this actually feels like a romance. I heard about it a while ago and I didn't have high expectations because I thought it'd be some unimaginative story, imitative of many time-travel movies before it. There's good chemistry between the main characters, Clare seems to be Clare at each age they meet. Sure, I want to find out how about Henry got to have his abilities and all; but right now I'm more invested into looking at his and Clare's love story. I know it was based on a book and there was a movie adaption before that I now want to revisit as well. It's always a little difficult to imagine an enjoyable romance tv series, but this actually carries the charm throughout so I hope it only keeps getting better from here.

I initially watched the trailer for this show, and as a fan of the book (although it's been years since I read it), I thought to myself, "this looks mediocre and honestly a bit cheesy..." Well, I am here to say I've been proven wrong. The first episode was good but the second episode has blown me away. The acting is incredible, the storyline has so much depth to it, and I love the way that they've captured the lives of the main characters. I don't usually find myself interested in shows/movies that are classified as a "drama", but I feel that this one is definitely worth giving attention to!

Despite being scattered this series is so lovely and intriguing. Theo James and Rose Leslie are superb at least a bulk of the time. The above average rating is fair but I've seen lots over the years and this is really good for a romance series! For the ones that might've been put off I'd say definitely give this a chance it's very sweet.
