Spoilers Time Bandits (spoilers)

[Morrus]

This one's the spoiler thread.

OK, that was better than I expected. It skews towards kids, of course (quite heavily), but it is charming and funny. It's not the best show ever, but it's a nice show.

First two episodes dropped; I'm really looking forward to #3 next week.

Pleasantly surprised.

Apple TV shows tend to be surprisingly good, IMO, even if the initial premise doesn't seem that interesting.

agreed, premiere tv for sure.

I forgot about this, thanks Morrus. Will check it out later tonight when my wife gets home.

 

[Lidgar]

Yes, thanks for the reminder. Plan to watch it tonight as well.

Season 2 cancelled. No suprise as this show got no buzz

I tried it on a trial subscription awhile back. Didn't finish the first episode. They did such a good job of portraying the kid as being considered boring by his peers due to the focus of his interest that he bored me too.

Apparently Hollywood has moved from "hooray, Apple overpays for TV" to "wait a second, they're not going to promote anything?!"

Somehow I missed this thread. I know Time Bandits the movie...there is a TV show??

Yes.

Yes.

Holy smacks! Batman!

I had no idea. This kind of stinks...to find out about it...via the cancellation post. Still, I enjoyed the original film...perhaps I should seek this one out and watch it.

Maybe it was cancelled due to lack of viewership (and that lack caused partly due to people like me not even knowing it existed!).

Even on the most recent AppleTV advertisements I hadn't seen this one listed as one of it's shows.
