Si je ne t'avais pas rencontrée

'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.

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.

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.

No too slow, not too fast, CC's were easily readable, actors and director were good, not great, the story deserves an A+ and I absolutely enjoyed the musical score and her singing. I think the score kept the story moving along at a steady pace. This is one of the best efforts I've seen by Netflix and hope you have a bunch more like it up your sleeve.

I created an IMDb account just to write a review about Si No T'Hagués Conegut, or If I Hadn't Met You, if you're watching on Netflix in English.

I always try to find foreign tv shows and movies to watch, maybe because I like to see the difference between directing styles and I love both French and Spanish productions. I stumbled across this show and, by its trailer, I thought it would be just too silly, but decided to give it a try because I'm a sucker for time travel/parallel universe plots and, of course, drama and tragedy.

Yes, it runs a bit slow. I can see how the first episode turned some viewers off, but do not give up! This show is just incredible! It really makes you think about your choices in life and how everything in the future can change because of it. The chemistry between Eduard and Elisa is amazing, even though Andrea Ros is 25 (my age!) and Pablo is in his forties. The sceneries and photography are amazing! Pay attention to how the colours play a big part in each universe. The acting and the costume design really makes you think actors are younger/older in each universe and really give you an idea of past and present.

I did cry a few times, I confess. It's an amazing and epic romance/drama story, with a little sci-fi twist, all without being too cheesy.

Oh, and last advice: watch it with the original audio and English (or whatever language you prefer) subtitles. Catalan is such a beautiful language. It's a mixture of Spanish, French and Portuguese to me and it suits the whole plot so well! It's just not the same without their Catalan nicknames or swear words or songs!
