What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Amazing Stories' aspirations are admirable, it feels more like a dated retread than a heartfelt reboot.

Fluffy and safe, it's not the strongest endorsement of what the rest of the series might bring. Go to Full Review

When this ending comes the audience may wish they'd have watched something more exciting instead. Go to Full Review
Patricia Puentes CNET 06/23/2020
With only 52 minutes of running time, The Cellar feels like a TV movie condensed to the length of a TV episode. Its characters are painted in wide brush strokes. Go to Full Review

6/10
Amazing Stories may well be kicking against the gloomy, dystopian tone of modern anthology TV, but if it's to hold its head above water and justify its existence, it needs to at least try to be a bit more amazing and significantly less unexceptional. Go to Full Review

Louise C Dec 6 Having watched only the first episode, I am motivated to report that I think Spielberg has done himself proud. If the starter is anything to go by, I'll definitely watch the whole series. Most enjoyable! See more Neringa B Oct 29 Absolutely loved it, enjoyed every moment of it. Definitely one of my all time favourites. Brilliant and heartwarming. Such a shame only 6 episodes. See more James B @Madstylesnz 07/13/2024 Thoroughly enjoyed all 5 episodes, it’s a great anthology series in the vein of The Outer Limits. My fav episode was the 2nd one about the 2 runners. See more Jordi H 08/28/2023 I'm amazed Steven Spielberg lend his name to this mess. I had high expectations for this series, but the first episode was a serious disappointment. (Spoilers alert). OK, we can believe that the drop of pressure during a storm sends someone to the past. But then, why aren't all the people sent? Maybe it's the combination of low pressure and this particular cellar? But in that case, many people in that house would have sought refuge during storms and been sent to the past too. Just one example of the many plot holes: the boy and the girl are walking through town and the girl says that there is a speakeasy but it seems you need a password. The very next scene they know the password. How? To move the story forward, that's how. Characters show up in absurd places because they are needed for the story. Don't waste your time. See more Jeffrey W 04/09/2023 I have to say that I only watched the first 2 episodes. The first one had so much potential and it just slightly missed the mark. However that miss really ruined the whole thing. Then I thought the second might be able to nail it. However the whole thing was such a waste of time. I was waiting for a good meaning to what was happening. Watching and listening for that ah ha moment. But instead I got plot twists that made no sense and were completely unrealistic. I felt like I wasted my time and I will never get that back. See more Cinema News T 11/08/2022 Todo las las historias son una maravilla visual y hermosa desde todos los puntos de vista!
