Summary Taika Waititi's new TV show, Time Bandits, has become a streaming success. Created by Waititi, Jemaine Clement, and Iain Morris – based on the 1981 fantasy adventure film directed by Terry Gilliam – the new Apple TV+ series follows an unlikely alliance between a band of thieves and an 11-year-old history buff as they embark on a dangerous quest to rescue his family, and save the world at large.
What Critics & Audiences Are Saying About Time Bandits It's Acclaimed By Critics, But Divisive Among Audiences Close Waititi's new TV show is based on the 1981 film of the same name, which is regarded by critics as a classic time-travel fantasy for its imaginative set designs and DIY special effects that render a vibrant and unique world, resulting in a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, the Time Bandits TV show has proven to be much more divisive among audiences, as indicated by its 50% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes from 100+ ratings. Any time a beloved or classic property is remade, it's bound to be divisive among those who cherish the original, which is certainly responsible for some of the backlash against the Time Bandits TV show.
