I had high hopes for a revival of this anthology series, however this new iteration is very much a throwback to storytelling from the eighties and has none of the sophistication that audiences are used to today. The series is inoffensive and family-friendly in the blandest of ways.

I was a fan of this show growing up so the 2020 version had big shoes to fill. It did not disappoint. The new series maintained the essence of what made the original so great. These are stories that explore mysterious concepts out of the ordinary, so you'll have to suspend disbelief and let the show take you on a ride. I felt like the show was starting to find its footing by the end of this first season. I really hope it comes back for a second season and beyond. Amazing Stories still has so much potential and so many more stories to tell.

More blatant woke propaganda. Pure garbage. Watch the 1985 version instead.

90% White man bad wokism, 10% originality, 100% tedium, 100% rubbish. Modern corporations need to find a way to put stories and talent above diversity showcasing and scoring brownie points with the far left.

I created an account on metacritic just to review this show. The writing is terrible, just rubbish. Production values and acting are all ok, so I have to give it at least a 1/10.

Big fan of the original Amazing Stories, this one not so much. The first episode is a Titanic knockoff with time travel, and the second copies Ghost...maybe those movies are so old now it doesn't matter. The production values are good, but so far they lack in originality and push every Hollywood agenda that's out there. With every anthology series I'm hopeful that the next episodes will be better - let's hope!

It's offensive, the sheer audacity to assign cosmic, supernatural and religious significance to a love between two young girls and their mutual love for the sport of running! Aren't you already tired of Hollywood stereotyping the dichotomy of heaven and hell, and all the established Real beliefs of afterlife? 'Love conquers all' is an underlying constant in all these concepts of afterlife in movies and Tv-shows alike and that has become quite boring and old. First they establish a concept of what love ideally is, if it even exists, and then they center all purpose of life and the greater truth around it! Outright absurd. Would the creator who designs such a perfect and grand design of the universe, the world and all life not demand recognition of His sovereignty? Are they/you really that arrogant/prideful to assign such importance to yourself and your invented meaning(s) of life. Such disdain Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general has of religious beliefs that they only ever make an outright mockery of them and expect fools like you to be gripped and swayed by them.

Classic Apple, all style and no substance. Hoping the next episodes are more 'amazing' or they'll be in trouble with trading standards.

The first episode of the series entitled "The Cellar" is simply magnificent. The plot is spectacular, engaging and has beautiful twists. In 50 minutes they were able to tell a story that was simply magnificent with the ability to engage the audience. Dylan O'brien, the lead actor, was excellent and very VERY good at acting. He created a world of his own He managed to make the history of the show his own story creating a work of art.
