Do you remember the 2004’s American movie ’13 Going On 30′? Well, Netflix’s new series ‘If Only’ is not related to it at all. The series does include time travel but solely romance is definitely not on the table.
The 8-episode series, with each episode having a runtime ranging from 31-37 minutes, was released on October 28, 2022.
Plot
The Spanish series follows the journey of a 30-year-old married woman Emma (Megan Montaner), with two children. While her life with her partner – Nando (Miguel Fernandez) seems all hunky dory on the surface, she is not happy living it.
The root cause of this dissatisfaction is not having any identity besides being a wife and a caring mother. She mentions this to her friend – Deme (Eduardo Llovares) who has achieved success as an actor in Hollywood.

What makes series captivated?
The series includes:
Miserable marriage
Time travel
Paris trip
Rare “blood moon” lunar eclipse
Independent woman
Miserable marriage
Ending explained
Emma who was living her miserable married life in 2018 travel back to 2008 where she gets another chance to live her life like she wanted to.
However, after juggling between 8 episodes, she travels back to the present and meets her children, whom she wanted to meet since the moment she got caught up in the whirlwind of dreams.
The ‘happily-ever-after’ story begins with this part of rejoicing. The season of ‘If Only’ concludes with the same feel-good, age-old trope of time travel while taking a detour through a series of loopholes.
Will there be a season 2?
It’s only been a few days since ‘If Only’ was released on Netflix but it already became part of the top 10 shows on the online streaming service.
However, right now, Netflix has not made any announcement regarding this decision but it’s unlikely the show will have a second season.
