It is British humor. Even their comedy for children is dark.

Watch "Horrible Histories" and you will get the idea.

I am liking that they do have little people in the cast. People can no longer complain about that.

I grew up in England, I use to read the horrible histories books.

It's not really like that, the scene with the pterodactyl thing was just straight up violent (for a kid), the dudes legs literally goes limp and he dies... i dunno kids violence would be he just gets swallowed or something.

and I wouldn't say the show emulates British humor much either, it's very much taika watiti jabbering humor (except widgit who genuinely gets me to chuckle).

The show just doesn't seem to know what it wants to be where as the movie (which I've since seen) was very much a silly irreverent adventure movie.

Yes the little people showing up in the last ending was definitely a nod to the original.

It seems like the child actor has a problem saying his lines. I blame the writing.

It doesn't look bad and Time Bandits is an interestingly weird choice of thing to bring back.

I am enjoying it. It is just a silly little show.

They kind of have a twist as to who the real bad guy is.

mediocre show. I found a mildly funny moment with the Greeks showing off the Trojan horse in the first episode. Lisa Kudrow is not good. I don't know if this is direction or a choice but all delivery is very dry and bad.

TIL that the kids actors name is “Kal-el”. He must have great parents.
