Time After Time

This show had potential, but there didn't seem to be any depth to the characters - everything came across as superficial. Josh Bowman tries his best as Jack the Ripper, but his performance in Revenge was better. It was described as chasing through time, yet we get to New York and as at the end of episode 3 we're still there. Maybe if there was a chase through time it might have been a bit better, but as it stands the show is actually about something different than advertised and I'm not surprised it was cancelled.

Took a while to get into this. It's watchable but not something I'd watch again. Could do without George in it - he's a smarmy little s**t and I found after the first time the character showed up I wanted to deck him!

Entertaining enough, just watching because I'm bored and the service I'm watching it on isn't being renewed when the current term expires. Just as well it's a kids show because you watch enough of it and you start to realise exactly how annoying Spongebob actually is.

The premise is good, but the execution is lacking.

I really wasn't expecting much from this show and started watching just to see what it was like, but was pleasantly surprised. There is good chemistry between the leads and is entertaining enough to keep watching.

I'm at the wedding in the first episode and the biggest problem I can see at the moment is that Matt Smith is in it - he's the whole reason I stopped watching Doctor Who so it's soured the whole series for me.

I'm now on the last episode and all this show has done is shown that there is alot of resentment.
- Queen Mother for her brother-in-law abdicating, and for her daughter taking her crown
- King Edward for being forced to choose
- King Edwards wife for not being allowed to be Queen
- Princess Margaret for not being next in line when she felt she was more deserving
- Prince Phillip for having a wife who is Queen (not like he didn't know it was going to happen eventually) The Prince also comes across as a bit of a rich trust fund kid who doesn't have any regard for rules and regulations.

I don't know if this is a true representation of the Royal Family, but this does not paint them in a good light.

Reminds me a bit of DCs Legends of Tomorrow but with an actual home base and a smaller team. I find this less boring though and easier to keep track of, plus slightly more realistic given these characters don't have special abilities.

This could have been an interesting series if it had been given a chance.

Interesting premise, and good acting, but it just couldn't hold my attention.
