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

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 Nov 19 There should be season 2 for this. It’s a great show! See more Craig B Jun 4 An excellent quirky fun series that very disappointingly didn’t get renewed for a much needed second season. See more James M May 14 I just rewatched the film, and it enhanced my appreciation of the tv show. The film was fresh and unique, but it actually developed quite slowly, and some of the characters/characterizations were just too silly. Napoleon and his alleged obsession with height was wildly overdone, for example. The tv show seemed more certain of its objective and achieved it better. It was a charming comedy with goofy characters, ultimately of reasonably good will. Even tho' the characters and situations were just as wild as the film, the tv show didn't dwell on the absurdity (or hit us over the head with it) but rather presented relatable characters reacting to absurd situations. Quite enjoyable, all in all. See more Cristian s May 8 La única razón para mirar Time Bandits es Lisa Kudrow, la única persona que logra ser divertida en una serie que se esfuerza demasiado por serlo pero nunca lo logra. Solo apta para los chicos (y me refiero a muy chicos, tal vez 10 años como mucho). See more Read all reviews
