This is the sort of series that in some ways is fine, and in some ways not.

I suppose the biggest problem is the ending to the series, which is completely inexplicable unless you assume that quite a few more episodes were planned, but for some reason the show was canceled right in the middle.

So where are we left?

Basically, we're left wondering, what tha hell?

Having spent my time on this series, I would prefer to have watched something else. And that would be my recommendation to you.

Imagine that! A delivery man leaves you a package that is not for you, but you open it and discover that it is a wooden box with which you can go back in time to the moments you lived with the one you loved so much... Do you return the packet? Think twice that it's basically not yours. Or do you use the inexplicable portal to go back someone you loved to?

I liked the approach and it seems that it was put on hold for a second season (without Gaspard Ulliel, obviously). Not spectacular, but it questions things about love, time, and second chances...

I'm a sucker for European drama and binge watched this little four part French sci-fi romantic drama in one evening. So much is good - the attractive and complex lead couple - Vincent and Louise, the interesting locations (Waltham Forest, England and Bordeaux, France) and the acting in general, was pretty good. What fails is the silly time travel element which just confuses and messes with the story. This would have played out better and been more convincing as a straightforward doomed romance. The dynamics of the central love story were interesting enough without bringing in fantasy. Vincent is a thirty something single dad who works in a tropical fish shop. He meets complex rich girl Louise in a bar and the odd couple somehow try to negotiate their way through a far from easy relationship. Can Vincent go back in time and change things? I ended up thinking that Vincent was dreaming the whole thing as it was too ridiculous and there were plot holes a plenty. Far too many of the supporting characters were not fleshed out enough to be interesting and seemed to just be there to move the story along. The non- linear storytelling was interesting but ended up being frustrating and the "cliff hanger" ending a major disappointment and a total cop out! The seven stars are for the actors who really did a good job with flimsy material and the look of the movie, which does try to be different.

Too bad. The young man steals, uses drugs, cheats, and goes on with his intentions. Total loss of time. Run away, as the devil runs away from the cross
