Bandits is a slog. Go to Full Review Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 08/05/2024
Thanks to solid performances with impeccable comedic timing, incredible world-building, and a fun but quirky tone, this series combines fantasy elements from [other] franchises... but remains true to itself through and through. Go to Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked 08/28/2024
The show, at least, is brighter and more hopeful than the movie that inspired it; it’s also orders of magnitude slower. Go to Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune 08/14/2024

Moose P. @Moosepuggle Mar 12 Fantastic show! Time Bandits the movie was one of my favorites as a kid growing up in the 80s, so I love that this show is basically an extended version of that. They really nailed the Monty Python humor that I love, with well-timed quips and mutterings. I like that they’ve also added an updated and more diverse cast (Phoebe from Friends is perfectly cast!), as well as more heart and connection between the characters, which is needed to keep a cohesion between the characters going over multiple episodes. Please renew for more seasons!! Ignore the negative reviews, they’re just review bombing, this show is great and you’ll love it! :) See more Fred N @fneylan Feb 19 So sad. Obviously had the budget and some good ideas, but the writing is stiff and the acting is stiffer. Little of the magic of the movie, spread much thinner across 10 episodes. Lisa Kudrow miscast or mis-acts. Too many minor characters to keep track of. Kid actors are the best part of a not very good show. See more D C. @DMari Feb 8 Light. Easy to watch. Engaging. See more Capn F. @Capnflipper Dec 6 I honestly really enjoyed this show! As someone who’s never heard of Time Bandits and watched the original movie it’s amazing! Really sad this was canceled See more Joshua W. @IMO20 Nov 23 This show is interesting and engaging! Love the historical element of it as much as the kind of pop sci fi it uses See more Gee T @RT66342941 Nov 19 There should be season 2 for this. It’s a great show! See more Read all reviews
