Did the Audience Really Not Like Time Bandits?
It may seem unusual that a streaming show such as Time Bandits - a show that was both loved by those seeking a new approach to a series and a unique approach to Comedy (a comedy series) with a sense of Time Travel - was not well-received, though that appears to be a result of a disconnect between critics and audiences, though its Rotten Tomatoes Score was well above average. It appeared as if the show failed to achieve its goal - despite its Audience Score.
