The Time Traveler's Wife

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.

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!

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.

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.

I'm a huge fan of the book (but unfortunately not a fan of the movie). This is the show I hoped to see. The chemistry between the two is very good; the casting is solid. There are some changes to the book but they're fine, nothing too major. This story is not going to be for everyone - the same people who found the book to be "too hard" or "too confusing" to read are likely the same prudes that "aren't comfortable with the subject matter" of this version. That said, many fans will love this. This is the adaptation that the book deserved, it is far superior to the insipid movie. I think most true fans will enjoy this very much, I for one can't wait to see more!! Great start, it's a 9/10 for me.
