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.

If your someone who appreciates Jack the Ripper shows/movies; but also someone for who, the thought of time travel isn't so far fetched; I have a hard time imagining you wouldn't like this show. Those are no spoilers, it's legit the point of the show to it's very core without specifics.

As far as these low reviews? I mean I wouldn't watch a werewolf movie and give it a 1 because I don't like werewolves. We have to have a clue about these things and what we are going to watch. Otherwise someone should include in their review about maybe an old western that they hate old westerns before handing out a 1. I've seen some bad shows, for people to give this show such a poor rating is sad and I'm curious what makes their brain tick. I'm wondering if they know it's a show about time travel to a point with character we know about, what could the problem with plot be? Ok Hitchcock, your so much more qualified than a department at a major studio lmao who've had success at supreme level. Does that mean you have to like everything, no. But cmon, don't complain about the plot of this show when anyone with a clue understands the made complete and total sense. Don't psycho-analyze everything Freud. Or you will never be able to sit back and enjoy any show

Yes we are all different, but the show proved fantastic for what it was intended to be. It's a shame it never got a chance to get to far in depth or allow plot to develop but the show itself was great and the plot was so incredible it's unbelievable.

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.

I've not seen the original movie, but with my love of history I really enjoyed the two hour premiere. Of course, that generally means (and judging by all of the horrible reviews here) that it will be another short lived show. Like many others, I've held a fascination with Jack the Ripper and am interested to see the story line. H G Wells, was clearly a man ahead of his time, and I think that they will do well with this character. Please give it a chance and stop being so negative all at once. Its refreshing to see something other than a political or hospital drama!!
