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 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 Cheryl Eddy io9.com Fun, but a little too familiar...the Time Bandits movie had a notoriously bleak yet liberating ending, and while the TV show takes a different path, its ending is equally notable—for different reasons. Jul 31, 2024 Full Review André Hereford Metro Weekly (Washington, DC) Lisa Kudrow leads a circle of funny friends in an action-packed series reinvention of the '80s classic 'Time Bandits.' Rated: 4/5 Jul 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen s this show is a perfect example on writers and producers being at an all time low seriously who was there target audience and how come they didnt like it either were getting flooded with bad movies and shows like this Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Darci V The character development, storytelling — MUAH! (chef’s kiss). I wish I would’ve known about this story as a kid. Penelope is my alter ego. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Craig B Unfaithful to the original movie. Why do studios owned by Disney not employ good writers? The comedy falls flat. The fact they chose to replace the characters portrayed byblittle people in the movie, with regular sized actors, just adds insult to injury. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Scott E I wanted to like this show - I could not get through episode one. I usually can find something to enjoy and sadly could not for this. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/24 Full Review Alex S It’s very cute and a great vehicle for Lisa Kudrow. It’s a family friendly show that throws a bunch of things against the wall, and enough connected for me and my wife to both really like it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/24 Full Review Brad G I couldn’t even get past 10 minutes into the first episode. I get that I’m not the target demographic, but wow is the writing and acting bad. I grew up watching the movie so I was somewhat excited about seeing this reboot, however I was severely disappointed. I actually hate it when writers make the characters so unbelievable that no one could relate to them. I’d give this show 0 stars if I could.
