Amazing Stories

Yes Episode 1 was dull and Episode 2 was utterly awful but wait... Episode 3 is actually quite charming and has that Spielberg vibe. And great to see Robert Forster in one of his last roles.

I hope the first episode is an indication of the quality we should expect to see in the rest of the series. I don't usually write reviews but after seeing all the silly low reviews I owed it to the people who worked so hard on this. If you are so fragile that you were triggered by the mention of climate change or the brief recognition of two men having a family, you may want to pass. If you are a reasonable human being chances are you will find it a romantic story of self-sacrifice.

Shocked and saddened by so many poor reviews about this series. Know your audience and open your minds. Brilliant for young teens, it's called 'Amazing Stories' - and it's that.

Episode 1 was very good, But episode 2 a huge disappointment. However, episodes 3 through 5 were enjoyable. Skip episode two and you will most likely enjoy this series.

Just watched the premiere episode and it was a good watch. Sadly, it didn't leave me with the same feelings as the original series. It wasn't an Amazing Story, only a Good One. The basic plot had everything you could want. But, the dialogue was a little too PC (aren't we all getting a little tired of that?) and the acting wasn't top notch. I'm hopeful for future episodes though. UPDATE: Just finished watching episode 2 and it was okay. That's about it. Being brutally honest, this reboot could be renamed 'Mediocre Stories'. When the original series premiered 35 years ago, it was ground breaking. They were spending over $1 Million Dollars an episode on the best talent to do the best stories. That's just not happening on the reboot. They're okay shows and I've enjoyed both of them. But, they're nothing special. I wouldn't want to watch them again. You know how some shows are so good that you want to watch them the next day just to see if you missed anything? You don't get that here.
