Amazing Stories

Was a fan and watcher of the original "Amazing Stories" series on "NBC" during the mid 80's which was created by mastermind Steven Spielberg, and now in the present day he's returned with this new "Amazing Stories" series for "Apple TV+" and most of the tales are interesting. Unlike the older one's this new series doesn't have many household names, and many of the episodes feature technology of the present times to make it feel more like 2020. Still the stories all involve twist and most tales are filled with themes of fantasy and imagination and each one has that old sci-fi like feel. Many of the stories involve time travel and connection as they end with a sentimental touch and feel. Overall good streaming series for today's crowd and a watch for fantasy fans and fans of the original.

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.

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.

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.

I was a huge fan of the original. I read the reviews on here and was very skeptical about trying this version out. I am so happy that I ignored all of the negative reviews. I have made it through episode 4 and I am just as hooked to this reboot as I was to the original. What wonderful stories so far. I can not wait to get to the next episode. The first episode, the cellar was touching. The second episode, The Heat was simply better than most regular television shows I have seen recently. The third episode, Dynoman and the volt brought me back to my childhood and the last episode, Signs of Life brought back the Sci-Fi touch. After re-reading the reviews, I guess that this type of show may not be something for everyone because it is a self contained story for each episode. I recommend that you put it on for yourself and make your own judgement. I personally loved everything about it so far.
