Plot: Henry is an ordinary man with an extraordinary gift, a gene that allows him to travel through time involuntarily. Claire, his wife, finds it difficult to cope with his ability.
The Time Traveller’s Wife series was a hit-and-miss experience for me.
Pros: Both Rose Leslie and Theo James played a nice couple and were believable. There are amusing and emotional times throughout the series.
Cons: There is too much time travel and jumping back and forth that distracts from my enjoyment of the series. There were far too many shots of Henry’s arse cheek on screen. I thought most of the storytelling was quite mediocre.
