Watchseries; Never read the book, think I missed the film too, but I loved this - so refreshing and very clever. The actors and characters were compelling and the hour seemed far too short. Stephen Moffat and team have done it again. Very similar to The Doctor and his wife River's story. Amazing - can't wait for next week.

The Time Traveler's Wife watchseries. 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.

Watching episode two which I paused to write this. Episode one is nothing unexpected. It is very well done and I liked it. In episode two, things are expanded a little bit. Scenes that might have been a paragraph might be half an hour. Explanations are now shown, not told. And right now, there is a scene making me tear up that I do not remember from the book. So, they are adding content, I think, but they are doing it 100% in the vein and feeling of the book.
The book holds a special place in my heart. The movie was a disappointment because it focuses so much on all the heartbreak and miscarriages.
For me, this series captures the feel and magic of the book.
As another reviewer said, I hope they do nine seasons. I am of the same mind. I just want to live here for a while. I hope they expand the story into his daughter and her adventurers.
Its a great story, wrapped around a great premise, and now it's a great series.

I've been lucky enough to see all 6 episodes and I can happily tell you that it gets better and better. The chemistry between the two characters throughout the series in my opinion is next to none and it helps that I've always been a fan of Theo James and Rose Leslie. What I love about this adaptation is it sticks closer to the book than the 2009 Film and doesn't really go off kilter. It's a rollercoaster of emotion of highs and lows but I couldn't resist and kept on watching. As an American living in the U. K. I felt they did a great job in convincing me that they were both from the US and the consistency of their performances throughout kept me hooked. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience with great writing, production value and brilliant actors. I couldn't recommend it more highly. :)

I never expect a remake to be good and was just watching this to create background noise but the first episode was just so bloody fresh and brilliant. The acting was great, the scenery and cinematography was simple but weirdly delicious and effective, and the dialogue is just plain beautiful. I was immediately immersed into the story and I would say that the characters might be my favorite part of the ensemble if I was a decisive person. I honestly think this might be my favorite of all the adaptations but I realize it's only the first episode and I would not like to make any rash decisions. Still, the whole thing is an understated masterpiece in the way most films/tv shows have ceased to be since about 2013. Safe to say I hope we get about 7 seasons of this and with very long episodes.

I stumbled on this show. I really like Rose Leslie and I thought I'd take a chance. The show has a great look, the principal actors have chemistry. Fascinating premise. It includes shots from the Fields Museum in Chicago. Great start.
The story line is massively complicated. The premise, Henry is a time traveler, is presented clearly. But I can feel nuances coming and the show has just 6 episodes. I hope there's 5 well written scripts to take us through the rest.
