Amazing Stories (Season 1)

Amazing Stories (2020) is an Apple TV+ sci-fi and fantasy anthology series you can watch online on iFILM. Executive produced by Steven Spielberg alongside Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, it revives the spirit of the 1985–1987 original — five standalone episodes, five directors, one season built around the idea that the extraordinary lives just beneath the surface of everyday life.

Each episode drops an ordinary character into a situation where the rules change. Dylan O'Brien and Victoria Pedretti anchor one episode that plays with time in unexpected ways. Robert Forster appears in another — one of the last performances he completed before his death in October 2019. The five stories range across genres: a wartime rescue that bends physics, a quiet romance with a strange edge, a road-trip that goes somewhere weirder than the map suggests.

The series doesn't try to build toward a shared mythology. Each half-hour stands alone, and the rotating directors give the season a genuinely varied visual identity rather than a house style. For viewers who came up on Spielberg's original run — or anyone who wants short-form genre storytelling with real production weight behind it — this revival is worth the time.
