I've only watched the 1st episode, and am bitterly disappointed. It's trying too hard to be something that it is not. The comedy is too forced and simply doesn't work. Now, I am going to watch the Terry Gilliam film as I love that! One of my all time favourite movies... which is probably why I dislike this cheap knock-off TV series.
In the interests of clarity I don't have Apple TV. I sat down at a mates place who does and we both "tried" watching the first episode of Time Bandits, the series. In short, what a disappointment. What really stood out is this has little to nothing in common with the original film, it clumsily apes. Putting aside the humour found in abundance in the original film, is a lot of, at times clever, at times dark commentary about the human condition. These aspects, which make Time Bandits what it is, are largely absent from the episodic remake. In short, this is shallow, mostly unfunny fare, that has little to say that's even remotely interesting. Yes production values are high and there's some quality actors in this series but as I've said in other less than positive reviews of film/tv, that's not enough on its own. In the end my friend and I switched it off and re-watched the original film instead. I'd suggest you do the same.
