I'm very disappointed that the series was shut down after season 1.

It's very strange, as the end of the last series hints at a sequel.

It's a compelling story that I would definitely like to see continue.

Because of some clever people, a lot of fans won't get to see a continuation of an unconventional and interesting story.

I hope the nbo decide not to take the critics' opinion into account, but pay attention to the viewers who pay to watch their show on streaming services.

The narrative here is unconventional, we get to see the story from different angles and have a lot to think about while watching it.

Definitely recommend everyone to watch.

It's with heartache and a great desire to see a sequel, Natalia.

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.

My favorite show on TV right now! And this is saying a lot because I watch A TON of TV! Syfy time travel romance. It doesn't get any better! Fantastic writing. Fantastic directing. Fantastic acting! Please let there be a season two!

A lot of naked Theo . Time traveling. Good acting solid script. Typical HBO very good not great. Well worth watching . Better than most of tv.. a sting song I the background is a nice touch.

This is an amazingly executed show. I'm quite impressed. When I saw the first episode, my impression was that it was OK, and I had the intention to watch the next episode.

After the second episode I was left with the impression that it was good, and I would watch the third.

The third episode left me enraptured, and longing to see the 4th.

I found myself going back and watching the first two episodes with a deeper introduction of the characters and very different perspective. I enjoyed the first two episodes immeasurably more, and picked up on subtleties I missed the first time through.

I'm genuinely excited to continue watching, and I know that as more is revealed about the characters, previous episodes will take on a different color.

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 was a bit apprehensive after reading the reviews but was blown away. As a lover of the book, I think it gets the humour and the edginess just right. It shows that the author of the book is involved.

I love that they clash from the start and it's not all plain sailing. It isn't a romantic comedy that many of the critics seemed to expect!

Rose portrays the fieriness and doubts perfectly and Theo balances the humour and the fear so well, the contrast between the older and the younger Henry is visible even in the body language. Moffat's dialogues are so good. The chemistry and the banter is spot on.

The only thing I didn't like was Henry's oldest make-up and that I have to wait another week for another episode!

Maybe it's too soon for me to review but after watching the episode and then the movie, I really like the movie better. The acting is better in my opinion. I can see the emotion in Rachel McAdams eyes. I'm still planning on watching the rest of the series so I might update my review.

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 huge fan of the book. The movie was ok but at least they got the casting correct but this TV series is not working for me. I just cannot warm to Rose Leslie as Clare. Why is her character so angry, ALL the time? Really disappointing.

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.

Cannot believe there is no plans for a second series. The first six episodes were well written with depth and believability. The characters and complexity was approached with skill and intelligence...you connected to what was going on with ease. There was not excessive attention to any single trait...the 'being human' aspect was beautifully communicated and acted.

Surely the critics who caused this treasured series to be cancelled were not actually watching or were expecting an action packed science fiction storyline rather than the respectful romantic / science fictional aspect that made the whole situation believable and immersive. I started watching the first episode alone but was soon joined by three others who also watched intently to the last episode. The humour and naturalness of the central characters - the acting and settings. Definitely more viewer friendly than I was expecting. Even if it wasn't a box set channel and a stormy day I would have made sure to watch each episode. Please PLEASE continue with the rest of the planned episodes...just stunned this gets ditched while other lame series go forever.

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.

This show is just brilliant, and it's because of Steven Moffat. Please do not cancel! Every time we get a great show, this is what happens.

If you love the book, you're going to love the show.

I like both actors. I like other productions that they have been in. Unfortunately, there is no chemistry between them as Clare and Henry or at least not as lovers. Their body language towards one another translates to good friends on screen, so the love making scene feels forced.

I like Steven Moffat's previous work, too. I was excited that he had created this show, but I feel like he's dropped the ball there. The show (or at least the premiere) concentrates too much focus on the time traveling mechanics and not the love story, which drives the whole story in the book.

And a bit enamored by Henry and Clare. I've only reached episode four, which is stellar btw, and how can I be in love with and want to take care of these two characters at the same time? Ridiculous. Like I said, obsessed. Watch it.

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. :)

This is a story of a man who grooms a child. There's no skirting around that fact. I could have enjoyed it if it wasn't for that fact but every time they met in her childhood my stomach turned and I wanted to throw up.

I originally watched this because I heard Theo James was naked in every episode, and he was, which was amazing (especially because there was no female nudity-- and we never get that), but I got so much more than hot female gaze!!! I got a really interesting time travel sci-fi/fantasy adventure romance that always kept me thinking and wondering what was going to happen next. The way time travel is explored here is pretty unique compared to how it shows up in other media. Theo James and Rose Leslie have incredible chemistry in this show, even if I thought some elements of their relationship were a little weird (and the show even jokes about them at times), their chemistry overrides all of that. We also get to see great range from Theo James, playing himself at different ages and interacting with himself. When I finished the show I was so disappointed to learn HBO wasn't going to give it a second season. The story isn't finished, and I still had so many questions about what was going to happen, or if they were going to make any changes to the ending of the book. I hope another streaming service is able to save this great series!!

As a fan of the book and movie, this show has already exceeded my expectations. I already love this story and its characters and Im so glad it been made into a series! I hope we get a season 2!
