THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE

-

MAGICAL NEW SERIES

Don’t get hung up on the time travel logic in Steven Moffat’s six-part take on Audrey Niffenegge­r’s novel — that’s not what matters. It’s the relationsh­ip at its heart that’s important, between Clare (Game Of Thrones’s Rose Leslie) and her husband Henry (Divergent’s Theo James, both right), a time traveller who can’t control when he travels. The main constant in his life is her, and the strength of the story is that their relationsh­ip is threedimen­sional and far from comfortabl­e. For instance, Clare first meets Henry when she is six and he is an adult who knows he is going to marry her — and he’s naked when he arrives, because that’s how time travel works. That’s a tricky scene to navigate but this show manages it and, from that point, a magical and unique story follows. Weekly, Sky/Now from Monday
