If I Hadn't Met You is a Spanish sci-fi drama TV series that premiered on Netflix in 2018. The series follows the story of Eduard, a man who loses everything after a tragic accident, including his wife, Elisa, and their unborn child. Heartbroken and desperate, he makes a deal with a scientist who creates a time-traveling machine that allows him to go back in time and save Elisa's life. Thus, begins a journey of love, loss, and regret that explores the consequences of changing one's past.

The series starts with Eduard drowning in a feeling of loss and despair after losing his wife and child in a car accident. He works as a physics teacher and finds solace in the knowledge of multiverses. His obsession with quantum physics soon becomes his lifeline, and he slowly starts to believe that he might find a way to travel back in time and save his wife and unborn child.

One day, he meets a scientist named Dr. Everest, who claims to have invented a time machine that can send someone back in time. However, to do this, Eduard has to give up a certain amount of his life, and he agrees without hesitation. The first time he goes back, he saves his wife, but she doesn't remember him, and he has to win her love all over again.

As the story progresses, Eduard uses the time machine to explore all the possible outcomes of his life. He goes back to the past and saves his wife multiple times, but every time he does that, his current reality changes. He experiences alternate realities where his wife is alive, but the consequences of his decisions are unpredictable.

Throughout the series, Eduard has to confront the idea that he could never return to his original reality. The show explores the question of whether or not changing the past leads to an alternate future or the present itself can change. The concept of multiverses drives the plot, and the showrunners explore different possible realities of life. Each event can have an unimaginable butterfly effect. The consequences of each decision of Eduard can profoundly impact his family and surroundings.

As the series unfolds, the time-traveling element is questioned repeatedly. Is the time machine actually working, or are these events just a form of hallucination? The show leaves some questions of multiverses unanswered, but it's different timelines and alternate reality approach solves one issue - the protagonist's agony caused by loss.

The show tackles themes like grief, loss, love, and the price of happiness. Along with the story of Eduard, the series also explores the lives of the people close to him, who have been affected by his decisions. The narrative makes it easy to keep track of all the timelines, and the story has a steady pace that rarely feels slow or rushed.

The characters in the show are diverse and complex, with their own ambitions, motivations, and real-world trappings that bring them to life. Eduard's character is well-drawn, but some questions remain: Is he really time-traveling or just dreaming? And what is the ultimate price for playing with time?

Overall, If I Hadn't Met You is a thought-provoking, emotional, and complex show that offers a fresh perspective on the idea of time travel. The sci-fi genre serves as a background for a heartwarming human story about love, loss, and the importance of the present moment. The show is a beautiful blend of genres, with its unique narrative style and lays focus on the role of choices and collective consequences they can have. It's a must-watch show for anyone looking for an intriguing and emotional sci-fi drama that explores the impact of a single decision on one's life.
