I thought all five episodes were supposed to dropped today, but it only looks like one did.

Apple only drops their shows weekly, not all at once like Amazon or Netflix.

Not always true. They dropped all of Mythic Quest at once.

The site I get TV listing info for the forum had it listed as episodes 1-5 available today. Must've just been a mistake.

It was a good warm up to remind folks what Amazing Stories was. Not the happiest of endings. Did Sam find a wife back then since he knew it would take a century between derechos?

I suppose that little Sam is Joe's kid? It would explain a lot...

I know this post was more than two years ago, but yeah, I hated that friggin' episode because of that dumb ending.

Sounds similar to the Jordan Peele Twilight Zone series

Are there only 5 episodes?

I will wait if there is a free trial or all the episodes are available before watching or subscribing.

I have more nostalgic memories of this show more so than almost any other show from my childhood. I hope they’re not all going to be as meh as Peele’s Twilight Zone.

I'm just glad they kept the John Williams opening theme music.

Second episode was much better than the first one.

I made the time to watch the 1st episode last night.

I thought it was good. It was a Sci-Fi Love story with time travel elements. Dylan O'Brien and the actress who played his love interest from 1919 were good together. I figured that it would end with them trading places.

I liked the opening credits used John Williams theme. I'll try to watch the 2nd one today. Looks like the 3rd one dropped today as well and that's Robert Forster's last appearance prior to his death.

3rd ep was ok, but nothing really special. No real twist ending or anything like that

The Rift was the best of the series

Decided to watch the first episode of this tonight. I thought it was kind of a charming little displaced time love story. Probably will watch the remaining episodes since the season isn’t very long.

Late to the party but watched all 5 episodes with the free Apple + 3 month trial.

I liked the Cellar and Dynoman and the Volt probably came close to being something that woud be featured in the original series.

The Rift was ok too.

The Heat with the two track athletes was the worst episode and Signs of Life was just meh.

It seems like this show is in limbo and not cancelled or renewed.

I wished they used the original John Williams score for the closing credits too.

If you just now have a three-month trial definitely check out For All Mankind and Ted Lassos. I think those are the best two shows on Apple+ ATM I might check out Amazing stories, I still have fond memories of the original series, specifically the one about the B-29 bomber landing with the faulty landing gear.

I showed my kids a bunch from the season one DVDs. My favorite as a kid and still today is Mummy Daddy.

Is this anything like the original?

Wish the second season got a region 1 release.
