This really is the year of time travel shows. Someone really needs to do a cross show special, say set at MIT in 2005.

This seems like a variation on Forever (or Forever was a variation on the original movie). It's not bad, but the formula shows too much, and the pursuit of Jack the Ripper is just there to distract from this being an ordinary, crime-of-the-week series.

What makes you the think this is going to be a crime-of-the-week structure, cardboard? I haven't looked at any promos, but I didn't get that vibe from these first 2 episodes, unless you mean Jack having a victim/potential victim each week? I can see how they could easily have made this another 'Cop/Not A Cop' show a la Forever, Lucifer, etc. if they'd made Jane a cop instead of a museum curator, though I'm glad they didn't.

Hadn't gotten around to watching the 4th & 5th episode yet, guess I can delete them unwatched: Time After Time Cancelled by ABC After Five Episodes

Is that bizarrely early to cancel a show, or is that just me?

It happens all the time, but usually to shows we're not watching, because no one is.

Yeah, networks have killed plenty of shows after only one or two episodes, but I think that happens more often in the fall-season-premiere-onslaught, whereas with the mid-season replacements they're more likely to air all the filmed episodes before quietly announcing that they're canceled, or just not making any kind of official announcement and just letting everyone infer the show's defunctness by the fact that the actors are moving on.
