BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

BellaFox Jonah makes an excellent Robin Hood, in fact the whole cast was great! I really enjoyed it, the story, the characters, the bonding. All up until 03x02, from there on I ignore quite a bit of it. Sure there were some cool parts in Series 3 but I personally enjoyed s1 and s2 more. If Kate didn't replace Marian, which no one could have anyway, I believe I'd enjoy s3 more than I did, although a sad ending, it was a good ending. Robin found happiness, and peace.

S.F.Franklin I watched this show when i was 10 years-old. And have re-watched it since then, over and over again. If you're a fan of Robin Hood, whether he's a fox or if he's a man in tights, or maybe a bit of Crowe? Or the many different versions of him. This one is a satisfying series, to me personally. The writers and crew do their best to keep it to the time line yet also give it a bit of a modern edge. It isn't just the tale of defeating the sheriff and happy endings. No they give the characters each a story and personality that is developed over time, the defeating of the sheriff is over a long period of time.They give Robin (Jonas Armstrong) That show off personality but if you watch you realize its just one of his covers. He's funny but can be dead serious. And you see over time his life story. And you grow to love his characters. One of my favorites, and the one character that i cried over at (SPOILERS!!!!) her death was Maid Marien (Lucy Griffiths). She plays a strong but also sacrificing character. Though she plays her own hero she also plays someone who does need to be rescue, (Which everyone has to be saved sometimes.) She doesn't greet Robin with open arms. And an oh i've missed you. More like a, i'm still mad at you for leaving. And get out of my way. But luckily he wins her over with a lot of work. I mean a lot.The relationship between her and Robin is one to be admired, and when she died in the series, I BAWLED! Of course i was ten and eleven but i still imagine that she somehow doesn't die and they all live happily ever after. But this show doesn't do And Everyone Lives Happily Ever After. In fact most of everyone dies, but not without a good cause. And it ends well but not without you wishing for their was more.

theairinthebranches I tried watching this a couple times over the years, but kept stopping at the first episode because it was just so bad. But then I carelessly started it again recently - as background entertainment while I worked on a sewing project - and ended up sticking with it (though only half-absorbed most of the time) all the way through. Richard Armitage was great, but his earnest attempt to make something of his character could get awkward in contrast with the bad writing (I'd sometimes cringe, or laugh, or both, thinking, 'poor Richard Armitage, what will they make him do next?'). Harry Lloyd was underutilized. I was hoping (and had sufficient cause to presume) that his character was in love with Robin, but whatever gay subtext I thought I saw forming earlier on was sadly dispensed with. Marion always had a faraway look on her face (but less in a dreaming-of-a-better-world way, and more like she was shrooming). Toby Stephens was an unexpected treat in the third season, and made me feel a little less guilty for putting up with it still.I think this anonymous netflix review said it best: "I thought this show was great!..... Then my high wore off. It's campy, super cheesy, poorly cast, bad costumes and historically inaccurate but if you've got nothing else to watch it's not bad. The guy of Gibson is kind of hot, and you see him shirtless a few times."

jgeorge4 My family loved the "Robin Hood" BBC series and I'm stunned at how vicious some of these reviews are. Robin Hood is terrific entertainment for its demographic-- families and children aged 8-16. It is suspenseful, action-packed, true to the historical foundation and a terrific show.Obviously the show is a far cry from perfect:1. Like the "Merlin" series, it frequently falls into a repetitive trap with Robin and his gang cheating death/escaping the executioner every episode. 2.The action/fight scenes usually border on the absurd, as the outnumbered Merry Men wallop on heavily armored soldiers and receive nary a scratch. 3. By season 3 the story arc just becomes too much and things become a little silly. 4. They will not win any awards for costumes or historical authenticity.In the whole scheme of things the negatives are outweighed by the positives. Give it a try, your family will love it.
