Histórias Maravilhosas

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
