Summer Slack Streaming - The Time Traveler's Wife - Season One/Series Finale

The Time Traveler's Wife really does not have the usual HBO vibes. Except maybe the swearing and nude Theo James. Who is hot BTW. He was annoying in the The White Lotus season two, however here he is fairly good. Maybe cause he is nude, a lot. Mainly in episode one and six!

The sci-fic romantic drama (that's a random genre, right?) television series based on the 2003 novel of the same name by Audrey Niffenegger. Was also a movie, with Aussie Eric Bana.

The series was developed and written by Steven Moffat, who had previously taken inspiration from Niffenegger's novel for his work on the science fiction series Doctor Who.

Alongside James, Rose Leslie stars in this one and done HBO series. Which has also been removed from HBO Max in December.

It missed it when it premiered on HBO on May 15, 2022.

At the time, the series received a generally negative reception, then came the cancelation after one season in July.

Blending romance and science fiction, the series follows the relationship between Henry DeTamble (James), a man with a genetic disorder which causes him to sporadically travel through time for short periods, and Clare Abshire (Leslie), a woman who met an older version of Henry when she was a girl who told her they were married in the future.

Much like the novel on which it is based, the series raises questions about determinism, free will, and identity.

I enjoyed the first half of the season more than the second. It did feel like this could have totally been a miniseries not a full blown possible long running show.

It's not HBO's best work, it might join The Nevers as a total sci-fi/fantasy flop.

In Australia, The Time Traveler's Wife streams on Binge.
