@valinaraii said: Well, it’s more like Timeless is like O Ministero… because they copied the idea from the Spanish series and didn’t pay to the creators.In the Spanish version, the French are the villains of the first episode, hehe. I really want to watch the Portuguese version but RTP won’t allow me to. O Ministero… unlike Timeless, is an honest adaptation in the sense that the Portuguese Television DID pay for the idea.
Yeah, I only said it like that because I watched Timeless first, but I still don't see that many similarities... The way for time traveling is different, one is a machine and the other is doors - which I think is very original and fun, even if I'm still a bit confused about how they work... There are people pointing out its two guys and a girl, sorry but that's too generic, and this Spanish (and now portuguese) has something much more fun which is the three characters are from different times which makes their relationship richer
Now the biggest similarity to me is that Wyatt and Tiago (Julian) have lost their wife, but still while Tiago (and I guess Julian) got to see her again and talk to her, Wyatt can't go to a time where he has been. Now I've watched only one episode of the Portuguese version and I've never watched the Spanish one so I don't know everything; I got a feeling there was something shady going on if that's true, there could be Rittenhouse, or if Flynn is like Filomena Cautela's character (I can't remember the name, something Torres)
But really most articles I've read just write there's two men and one woman and that's not reason enough - in that line of thought they could be plagiarizing season 5 and 6 of Doctor Who. Now there could be more reasons that I don't know, it would help if the articles point them out, and if it's really an adaption, Timeless needs to pay for the idea, plagiarism is never fair, and the producers or creators should be expelled from the project
Ohhh... the French were the villains... yeah, by what I've heard Portugal is barely on the show. I really thought they didn't show the Spanish version because we would be the bad guys too often (Spain does seem to be our main opponent). I hope you get some way to see it :)
