Netflix presents ‘If I Hadn’t Met You’: I need another do-over!

Published

on

Desperate widower Eduardo finds himself prowling different realities, in search of the perfect life with his still-alive wife and children.

Okay so, everything about Eduardo’s (Pablo Derqui) life is ordinary – he and his beloved wife Elisa (Andrea Ros) might argue more than a little bit, his two children have their idiosyncrasies but he loves them all the same, and of course, relatives and in-laws with their own many issues that they just insist on sharing abound too. Eduardo seems to exist in a kind of perpetual state of beige-grey, carrying on as your average human male does, but then one day after a particularly selfish row with the wife, Eduardo loses his entire immediate family to a devastating car accident.

Wracked with guilt, which is very much a recurring theme of the show, Eduardo hauls himself to his favorite bridge with its accompanying rushing train, determined to breathlessly end it all, only to be stopped by the mysterious white-haired woman from the beginning of the show. Dr. Everest (Mercedes Sampietro), as she turns out to call herself, claims to be all sorts of quantum physicist and NASA-related things, but now after a summary dismissal seeks a guinea pig unafraid of death for her magnum opus – portals to other universes. And Eduardo, miserable and mystified at the idea that he can find his Elisa and his children alive in some other universe, willingly takes on the silver infinity bracelet (my name for it, not theirs) and does the ‘Quantum Leap’ thing to a different universe!

Eduardo as a young man in university with that ridiculous mop of hair is something to contend with, but the scenes where he and Elisa met and performed together are kind and lovely. Eduardo slowly learns, as he wanders through the choices he made for his wife in the life they had had originally, versus what she might have wanted, or even been able to achieve without him, that his own selfishness when pawing through these different universes looking for perfection was his own version, not Elisa’s.

No matter which version of Elisa Eduardo is currently babbling his search at – famous singer, flustered student, even cute little girl – her connection to Eduardo in every universe is instant and palpable. One even sees a much younger version of Elisa have some lovely sexy times with our main Eduardo, who while still being Eduardo, is much older and should know better. Every time they reconnect, Eduardo and Elisa can’t help but be drawn to each-other, twinned universes together, seemingly fated to always be parted, far too often by car accidents.

As Eduardo continues to search the multiverse for the “perfect life” with his wife and their children still alive, his list of requirements keeps getting shorter and his understanding of his own selfishness blossoms. Between each jump Dr. Everest patiently waits at the silver room for the after-interview about what Eduardo saw and did – til the day comes when Dr. Everests’ age and health catches up with her and she suddenly isn’t there to help guide Eduardo anymore. For the good Doctor, a scientific genius using all her forbidden creativity to help the heartbroken soul of Eduardo, is hardly altruistic and still has plenty of secrets of her own.

A European Spanish TV show and therefore subtitled in English, ‘If I Hadn’t Met You’ offers the most milquetoast of men a chance to ‘Quantum Leap’ his own life and discover the beautifully unknowable consequences of the loved ones in his own life!

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
