Time After Time is a 2017 television series developed by Kevin Williamson and based on the 1979 film of the same name. The show stars Freddie Stroma, Josh Bowman, Genesis Rodriguez and Nicole Ari Parker. In 1893 London, Jack the Ripper has now returned, murdering another prostitute in a dark alley. Nearby, a young H. G. Wells is holding forth in his home on the glorious utopia he foresees for the future, to his friends' skeptical amusement.When the latest guest enters, he is revealed as Jack the Ripper-or rather, Dr. John Stevenson, a respectable surgeon. Wells unveils an invention of his to the guests in his basement-a time machine. The police are on the hunt for the Ripper after the body is discovered, and Wells freely allows them to search his house. When they open Dr. Stevenson's bag, the bloody knife used in the murder is revealed. Stevenson himself is nowhere to be found however, and Wells soon learns to his horror that he has escaped into the future-March 4, 2017.Determined to stop Stevenson from using this to escape justice and wreaking more havoc in what he thinks will then be an unsuspecting utopia, Wells sets out in the time machine after him. After his arrival, Wells finds to his surprise that the time machine is in a New York City museum on display. Naturally, no one believes his claims of traveling through time or who he is. After being released, Wells goes on the hunt for Dr. Stevenson. Jack the Ripper has plans of his own though...The series was cancelled after five low-rated episodes. However, all 12 episodes have been broadcast in Spain and Portugal. The entire series has now been made available to watch on CW Seed. | |

Time-Travel Romance | |
| Time After Time / int_10de0193 | comment |
Time-Travel Romance: H. G. Wells, the 19th century novelist, with Jane Walker, a 21st century museum curator. Jack Stevenson and Brooke Munroe too, though their relationship is a little more disturbing than a 'romance'. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Time After Time / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: There are several references to H. G. Wells's real-life novels, as well as other adaptations of his work. Vanessa Anders' boyfriend is named Griffin, which is also the real name of the title character from The Invisible Man. The whole Project Utopia storyline is heavily inspired by The Island of Doctor Moreau, in that it involves Mad Scientist (named Dr. Munroe here) on an island who created 'monsters' through his experiments. This is acknowledged in the show several times. In fact, it is stated that Wells was inspired by his encounters with Dr. Munroe and Project Utopia to write the novel when he returned to his own time...and that Dr. Munroe in turn was inspired by the novel to carry out his experiments, making it a case of Stable Time Loop. There are frequent references to the word 'utopia', especially in the context of HG Wells's idea of one, which are a reference to his work A Modern Utopia which we learn, is another text of Wells's that inspired Dr. Munroe's "Project Utopia". In the season finale "The Second Hand Unwinds" Wells travels back in time repeatedly to prevent Jane's death. This is reminiscent of the 2002 film adaptation of The Time Machine (2002) which begins with the protagonist also attempting to go back in time to prevent the death of the woman he loves. | |

Stable Time Loop | |
| Time After Time / int_37690091 | comment |
Later in the season Brooke Munroe's plan to alter her family's history of tragedy and death fails. She sends back HG Wells and Jack Stevenson to her father's island lab in 1980, along with a message for her father embedded in a microchip she implanted on Jack, expecting her father to avoid his death. But this only ends up causing the chain of events that leads to his death. It's heavily implied that the events on the island are all part of a Stable Time Loop. | |

Historical Hero Upgrade | |
| Time After Time / int_3e8d9cd3 | comment |
Historical Hero Upgrade: H. G. Wells in the show is a charming man who wishes to be single after going through a divorce. In real life, H. G. Wells had multiple affairs. He left his first wife to marry his second wife Amy Robbins, who allowed him to continue to see other women. He also had children from two separate affairs. The writers seem to not want to show this historical fact, doubtless thinking a cheating womanizer would be less sympathetic. Wells is also portrayed as enthusiastic at seeing more racial equality in the future, saying he'd predicted it as a part of his posited utopia. In fact, his actual stated views on that (admittedly, years after when Wells is portrayed here) were far less savory-he said people of color would "have to go", i.e. become extinct if they didn't evolve enough. It's true his views were more progressive later, praising African-American endurance despite racism, criticizing xenophobia, all "racial purity" ideas and denouncing racism. However, Wells in 1893 may well have still had less pleasant views. Thus, he might not have adapted so easily to having a mixed race descendant in Vanessa. | |

Fish out of Temporal Water: H. G. Wells and Dr. John Stevenson (aka Jack the Ripper) travel from 1893 London to 2017 New York City. Stevenson adjusts better, quickly adopting contemporary clothes and technology, while Wells is initially stunned by the experience, especially that his longed-for utopia didn't happen. | |

Evilutionary Biologist | |
| Time After Time / int_546e23f6 | comment |
Evilutionary Biologist: Dr. Edward Munroe is an unhinged geneticist intent on improving humans by enhancing them with a serum he's created. Unfortunately, it's turned all his subjects into homicidal maniacs thus far, but he doesn't let that stop him. He's delighted after getting ahold of John, who was Jack the Ripper, believing that his DNA is the key to fixing this. Appropriately, he also serves In-Universe as the inspiration of the eponymous doctor in The Island of Doctor Moreau. Like most, he explicitly claims "survival of the fittest" rules, while mentioning John as being the "next stage of evolution", indicating his poor evolutionary knowledge (unsurprisingly). | |

The mechanics of how H. G. Wells's Time Machine works, as well as how time-travel affects causality is inconsistent throughout the series. For instance, much like in the film in some instances, the machine disappears from one place and time and reappears somewhere else, whereas in other cases, it seems to just transport the traveler to wherever the machine is on the target date. | |

Broken Pedestal: Wells feels this for the future rather than a person. He had expected a utopia where war, hunger and other ills had been overcome, but instead discovers those things are still very much around in 2017, to the point of him almost crying while he watches the news. Ironically as this series is related to The Time Machine, that was one of his novels where the future isn't depicted as a utopia. | |

Timey-Wimey Ball: The mechanics of how H. G. Wells's Time Machine works, as well as how time-travel affects causality is inconsistent throughout the series. For instance, much like in the film in some instances, the machine disappears from one place and time and reappears somewhere else, whereas in other cases, it seems to just transport the traveler to wherever the machine is on the target date. For the most part, it seems that You Already Changed the Past is in effect. Wells and Stevenson were always destined to come to New York City. They were also always destined to be sent back to Dr. Munroe's island facility in 1980 where Stevenson's DNA is harvested by Munroe to perfect the Project Utopia serum. And Wells is ultimately destined to go back to his own time and write his novels, which are inspired by his experiences in the future. However, in "I Will Catch You", Wells does succeed in changing the future and preventing Jane's death three days later, as well as saving the life of another one of Stevenson's future victims. More significantly, in the season finale "The Second Hand Unwinds", Wells succeeds in traveling back in time and preventing Jane's murder at John's hands again. | |

Based on a True Story: In the show's universe, H. G. Wells's 1896 novel The Island of Doctor Moreau was an example of this. The novel's plot about a scientist named Dr. Moreau creating monsters through strange experiences is inspired by Wells's time-travel adventures, specifically his trip to the Project Utopia facility in 1980 where he meets Dr. Munroe and encounters the products of his illicit genetic experimentation. | |

Cliffhanger: The series has this, due to being canceled before most of the episodes had even aired (in most places, only the first five did). H. G. travels to a bad future in 2021 where John is still alive somehow, and has developed gene enhancement techniques which are used for making super soldiers fighting World War III. Vanessa is dead, and Jane's suffered a Fate Worse than Death of some unspecified kind. | |

| Time After Time / int_e9e2c54d | comment |
For the most part, it seems that You Already Changed the Past is in effect. Wells and Stevenson were always destined to come to New York City. They were also always destined to be sent back to Dr. Munroe's island facility in 1980 where Stevenson's DNA is harvested by Munroe to perfect the Project Utopia serum. And Wells is ultimately destined to go back to his own time and write his novels, which are inspired by his experiences in the future. However, in "I Will Catch You", Wells does succeed in changing the future and preventing Jane's death three days later, as well as saving the life of another one of Stevenson's future victims. More significantly, in the season finale "The Second Hand Unwinds", Wells succeeds in traveling back in time and preventing Jane's murder at John's hands again. | |

You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You: In the pilot, Jane asks Wells how he got past security and into the exhibit (believing him to be an actor). This is his answer: | |
