Time After Time (Season 1)

Time After Time (2017) is an American sci-fi drama series you can watch online on iFILM. The setup: H.G. Wells actually built a time machine, and one of his dinner guests — the charming Dr. John Stevenson, secretly Jack the Ripper — steals it to escape Victorian London's police. Freddie Stroma plays Wells; Joshua Bowman is the Ripper, now at large in modern-day New York.

Wells follows him to the present and finds nothing like the peaceful future he imagined. Jack adapts to the 21st century with ease. Wells stumbles. At the museum where the machine surfaces, a curator named Jane (Génesis Rodríguez) becomes his uneasy guide to a world that has out-violenced anything he wrote about.

The show aired on ABC and was cancelled after one season. It moves fast and leans into the fish-out-of-water comedy as much as the thriller. Stream Time After Time (2017) online on iFILM.
