Histoires fantastiques

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.

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.

You should watch this series exclusively for episode 1 and episode 5. Espisode 3 is also good and episode 4 is below average. BUT episode 2 got to be one of the worst episode in web series..... what a horrible story and over all direction it is.... phewww!!! So watch this series but skip episode 2. Don't worry all stories are independent of each other and no connection.

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.

The stories remind me of some of Ray Bradbury's short stories. They have heart and a sweetly reminiscent quality. I enjoyed the first two stories the most. Maybe people were expecting more, but I felt each episode was enjoyable, if not "amazing."
