Time Bandits is an unpredictable journey through time and space with a ragtag group of thieves and their newest recruit: an 11-year-old history buff named Kevin. Together, they set out on a thrilling quest to save the boy's parents - and the world. Guided by Lisa Kudrow, the eccentric crew of bandits embark on epic adventures while evil forces threaten their conquests and life as they know it. As the group transports through time and space, the gang stumbles upon fascinating worlds of the distant past while seeking out treasure, depending on Kevin to shed light on each situation. The Time Bandits witness the creation of Stonehenge, see the Trojan Horse in action, escape dinosaurs in the prehistoric ages, wreak havoc during medieval times, experience the ice age, ancient civilizations, the Harlem Renaissance, and much more along the way.

Oh no! I’ve really enjoyed the episodes I’ve watched so far. Thanks for the info.

PURRFECTPINUP 3 points 8 months ago.

This show is so damn entertaining. Just plain fun. Although, I’ve developed a crush on lisa Kudrow.

Speed711 3 points 7 months ago. 5/5 stars.

I always knew the secret to Stonehenge. Glad this show told us the truth. The more I watch the better it gets.

GeminiSaga 2 points 8 months ago.

It’s good for kids I guess, and it has some funny moments.

newman 2 points 2 months ago.

Sad, no season 2
I know it wasn’t a big hit but I enjoyed it. It was family friendly and kinda funny..

Drizzt 2 points 8 months ago.

WooT.. Chips-check, peanuts, beer cheezies, smokeables !! Good to go !!

This is my first post ever on this site, and is the show that’s got me to do it.
I’ve almost never been a fan of remakes because usually they trash the original source material in a way that doesn’t make it fresh, but rather a bad Xerox copy.
Between Time Bandits, Krull, Lady Hawk, Logan’s Run, and many other sci-fi shows of the campy 70’s, it’s where I developed my love of Syfy and fantasy shows. However when I saw the trailer to this show it gave me a little hope that for once they were possibly going to do a remake and do it justice without completely just rewriting the source material in bad ways to try to come up with some convoluted supposedly original way to do it and never does it justice. Obviously this show does not follow the original storyline completely but what they had done they have done extremely well. I hope this show does not get canceled anytime soon because it would be a serious disappointment It is that good.

A fun family favourite (1981). Along the same lines as other fantasy adventures like Baron Munchausen, Princess Bride and other whimsical tales. Written by Michael Palin and Terry Gilliam. Starring John Cleese, Sean Connery, Shelly Duvall, Peter Vaughan, David Rappaport, Ian Holm, Jack Purvis, Malcolm Dixon, Kenny Baker, Michael Palin and so many more.

TV series, mate.

BrotherKnumpcy 0 points 8 months ago.

With Taika involved it will be garbage…

Alien 1 points 1 year ago*.

Lisa Kudrow? Really? 🤢

Odie 3 points 1 year ago.

Apparently Terry Gilliam went to visit the set for a couple weeks and didn’t like anything Taika Waititi was doing, complaining about different things and left after 2 or 3 days visibly upset. Gonna be interesting to see how this turns out..

Alien 3 points 1 year ago.

I can’t believe he hung around for 2 or 3 days.

Charlespwolfe 2 points 7 months ago.

Yeah, NGL, I was worried he was going to do bad for this show too like he did Thor. I’m really glad that in my own opinion that he actually did a good job on the show.

BrotherKnumpcy -3 points 8 months ago.

Anything Taika touches he ruins which is evident with Thor… Now he is doing this cult classic. Won’t watch or support period… Even for free well the $22 I pay for internet and Business Proton VPN per month…

Terrifying Timber 2 points 8 months ago*.

Lisa Kudrow’s voice intensely irritated me to the point I couldn’t finish the first episode.

Alien 1 points 8 months ago.

Same here. She ruins everything!

6 votes and 4 stars. it’s not even out yet.

yellow_rose1 0 points 8 months ago.

This should be good. I hope. I’ll have to watch the original again, to refresh my memory. I know I liked it back then. The original that is. John Cleese is one of the best British Comedians imo.

tardisrider 4 points 8 months ago.

you’re not wrong just watch fawlty towers to see how funny he can be!

Researcher -1 points 8 months ago.

Taika is an acquired taste and I’VE GOT IT! I can’t wait! I know that every face I recognized in the trailer will bring “It.” It may be a grown-up version so difficult to compare with original (don’t think we should!), but here’s hoping it will entertain.

magically_delicious 1 points 8 months ago.

He’s brilliant: What We Do in the Shadows (2014) that then went on into a series, JoJo Rabbit, Reservation Dogs (TV series) (2019)… all writers and directors take chances and sometimes it doesn’t completely work out. He may just pull off the adult version of this reimagined classic and we can always love both.

tardisrider 1 points 8 months ago.

beg to differ what we do in the shadows is the most godawfull tripe ever served up. jojo rabbit was good as is reservation dogs and love his work on our flag is death, but without terry gillams approval magic 8ball says outlook not good.

hellsingfan01 3 points 8 months ago.

Errrmmmm Terry Gillam is an executive producer on this show which granted doesn’t mean much but they still do have to go to him in order to sign of on certain aspects of the production so there’s that at least.

Researcher 1 points 8 months ago.

Maybe…maybe not…we shall see.

deadwalker 1 points 8 months ago.

I like time travel stuff hope this is good! Should come out july 24th.

Researcher 0 points 8 months ago.

Watched the 1st episode and I wasn’t disappointed! Loved it! Taika does it again, IMO. And Terry Gilliam can go take a long walk off a short pier, for all I care. Kudrow, working her shtick into Penelope, also works for me! So happy to see Jermaine on board. I’m all in!

pramwire -2 points 6 months ago.

Times up for Time Bandits. How awkward. One season pleasin for the least demanding audiences.
