The Time Traveler’s Wife on HBO Max seems to be on everyone’s mind currently. The show did not start off well with audiences having problems with the age dynamics between the characters during certain segments. However, by the end of the first season, everyone seemed to have warmed up to the idea of the two very endearing and loving protagonists in the show.
Created by Steven Moffat, the series is directed by Game of Thrones’ David Nutter and produced by Warner Bros. Television and Hartswood Films. It is based on Audrey Niffenegger’s novel of the same name. The show stars Rose Leslie as Clare Abshire, Theo James as Henry DeTamble along with Caitlin Shorey, Everleigh McDonell, Brian Altemus, Jason David, Kate Siegel, Desmin Borges, Natasha Lopez, Michael Park, Jaime Ray Newman and Taylor Richardson.
The Time Traveler’s Wife gave us a unique take on romance as well as science fiction. The show had some really beautiful moments and, today we are taking a look at the three most lovely ones out of the lot.

By the fifth episode of The Time Traveler’s Wife when the present timeline’s Henry goes to meet Clare’s family for the first time, it is somewhere clear that Clare is still seeking out a more mature version of Henry- the one that used to visit her when she was young, the one she grew up with.
