Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 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. Aug 5, 2024 Full Review Kristen Baldwin Entertainment Weekly 'Bandits' is a funny, smart, and slyly anti-colonialism romp that will have kids and parents laughing as they learn. Aug 3, 2024 Full Review Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) This is more child-friendly without sacrificing a tone built on deadpan retorts, silly misunderstandings, and Friends star Kudrow being hilarious as an insecure leader. It’s that rare remake that gets it right. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Tara Ariano Cracked The show, at least, is brighter and more hopeful than the movie that inspired it; it’s also orders of magnitude slower. Aug 28, 2024 Full Review Mike Scott Times-Picayune This new Time Bandits delivers all the endearing quirkiness you’d expect. ... Fans of the original will be pleased. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 14, 2024 Full Review Helen Hawkins The Arts Desk The direction hams it up yet keeps things funny, never allowing a high-budget gloss to spoil the look... The SFX aren’t allowed to eclipse the human and domestic elements that give the series its heart Rated: 4/5 Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Don C Great show! The acting, direction, writing, set design, production, and editing are top notch. I have a feeling most of those complaining are either holding on too tightly to ideas they have about what this should be or look like based on the movie or people who just don’t like this sort of thing and are therefore not the intended audience. I really hope we get a season 2 ASAP!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Shawn C Everyone and everything in this show is annoying and most everyone and everything is unlikeable. When not annoyed, I was bored. It's just a bunch of irritating, dim witted attempts at comedy. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Matthew D The show had me laughing from the very start and it never stopped. It’s silly, fun and charming. I’m honestly really badfled by the negative reviews. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Jacob M give it a chance!! first couple episodes are a bit mediocre but it’ll just grow and helen on you Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Jenny G It just gets better and better... wasn't sure during the first episode or two but it gets going and I just love whenith the demon babe speaks! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Murray I No way as good as the original, it was like a terrible Monty python gone wrong sketch, Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
