Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Time Bandits'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Apple TV+'s fantasy comedy series, 'Time Bandits,' is living up to its name as characters seamlessly travel through historical eras where chaos always follows them.
The show, based on the 1981 film of the same name, follows Kevin (Kal-El Tuck), a history-loving boy who struggles with his peers and his family's critical remarks.
However, fate takes a turn when Kevin encounters a band of bandits with a map that lets them travel through various timelines, sparking his interest and leading him to join their adventures.
It also gets revealed that the map is being sought by the Supreme Being (Taika Waititi ) and Pure Evil (Jemaine Clement).
It was also revealed that Pure Evil's minion, Fianna (Rachel House), transforms Kevin's parents into two pieces of coal. Horrified, Kevin takes the coal with him as he escapes.
However, trouble is far from over as Kevin's sister, Saffron (Kiera Thompson), also travels through time in search of her family, which is sure to lead to more complications.

After discovering that her family is missing and finding a portal in Kevin's room, Saffron travels through time, navigating various historical eras, each presenting its own set of challenges and dangers.
Her journey is marked by encounters with notable figures where Kevin and the bandits had previously been, reinforcing her belief that she will find her brother and family.
It was also revealed in the fourth episode that Saffron is being pursued by Fianna, suggesting that the evil demon might use Saffron to retrieve the map from Kevin. However, Fianna abandons the pursuit of Saffron once it’s discovered that she is not Kevin.
Will Saffron accelerate Kevin's predicament in 'Time Bandits'?

It is well known that both Pure Evil and the Supreme Being are after the magical map. However, the map remains in the hands of the bandits, and both leaders are struggling to retrieve it.
Saffron's involvement is critical in this situation. Kevin has already lost his parents, who were turned into two pieces of coal, and he is gradually developing a strong bond with the bandits.
Pure Evil might reprimand Fianna for letting Saffron slip away, potentially taking her hostage and using her as bait to retrieve the map from the bandits. The Supreme Being could also employ this tactic to achieve his goals.
Overall, it is safe to assume that Saffron is now a central figure, and her involvement with Kevin and the bandits is likely to intensify the gang's problems in the upcoming episodes.
