While Esta enjoyed laughing along with the TIME BANDITS, as the series went on, Aaron wasn’t as impressed. Here’s the episodic breakdown.
E1-E2 😊
“While the two-episode premiere is imperfect, the show has an “it” quality that makes me want more. That primarily reflects how much fun the cast, writers, and creators are having paying homage to Gilliam’s original while also charting a new course.“
– Aaron
E3-4 😊
“TIME BANDITS begs audiences to suspend disbelief as the ensemble traverses through time and space. It is a crazy, scientific theory that if done correctly can capture the past while leading us into the future.”
– Esta
E5-E6 🤮 /😊
E5 🤮 – “Episode five is the worst yet. Even with Cassanova to swoon over, this dull edition has nothing to love. I didn’t laugh at all; I was only thankful for the shorter episode run time.”
E6 😊 – “Episode six is on par with the rest of the TIME BANDITS series. It will spoil audiences as they follow the bandits to meet the wealthiest person in history while finally moving the plot forward with a cliffhanger ending.”
– Aaron
E7-E8 😊
“TIME BANDITS showcased several meaningful moments between family and friends. There was a better understanding among the “randos.” This show is a fantastical journey that begs viewers to believe the unbelievable and the absurd.”
– Esta
E9-E10 😊/🤮
“Despite having a climatic cheesy montage, E9 PELL-MELL worked because audiences finally saw character growth in the “leader,” Penelope (Lisa Kudrow). E10 FORTRESS OF DARKNESS was full of tedious exposition and characters talking about a showdown rather than having one.”
– Aaron
