OK so, when you first stick this on, you're more than likely to be disappointed at the production value. BUT if you can get past the sort of cheap and Canadian/ Rural English look it has about it, it is a great show. The way I got through the first episode was by pretending it had that Hollywood sort of sheen to it, you know, the sort of polished, expensive looking appearance of game of thrones. Anyways, if you don't get hung up on how cheaply it was made, then you will love it because its awesome. I have watched every robin hood, (Disney, men in tights, Russell crowe, Kevin Costner) and I am not disappointed. Each has presented the story in a different way and this show is not an exception. I would rank this as my third favourite representation of robin hood after Disney and Russell crowe.

I loved the TV-series! The only thing I didn't like about it is that there never was any blood on the swords/arrows when people were killed. It wasn't very realistic, in real life swords/arrows get blood when someone gets killed with it. The ending could have been different, King Richard could come home and save England instead of Robin Hood getting killed, that would have made the series MUCH better! What happened to happy endings? When a movie/TV-series ends good, it will get much better. Robin was also sort of a player, after Marion got killed he fell in love with two others, in the little time. But his smile was amazing, you can't fall in love with it!

So badly done. Please!! Please!!! do not waste your time watching this show. Spoiler: The Marion Death is the most unforgivable thing they did but, there were many other things that were just so poorly done. Several of the characters were wildly inconstant, particularly Gisborne. Who early on was established as a cold blooded killer but when the writers ran out of ideas they would just switch his character back and forth. There were so many of the episodes that were false dilemmas. That went on and on over and over again. It was like a bad soap opera. The writers disgraced and destroyed the story of Robin hood. BBC should be ashamed of themselves for putting this out. I have seen many other BBC stuff and loved it but this is just Horrific.

WASTE OF TIME, HERE'S WHY... There are at least some qualities to be said about this show. In the first season, you like the characters, you hate the villains, and some of the poor character decisions are bearable, possibly even understandable. Then, all the sudden, my daily boredom juice of watching this show turned into a sour concoction of evilness and political correct decisions made by so called heroes with stature, who have no problem killing all the kings guards, and then have an issue bringing their leader, who really is truly truly evil, to justice. WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS INJUSTICE! RAAAHHH! I can't quite find the appropriate words for a PG review. But these men, these writers, these characters that I was wrapped into liking, are cowardly, moronic, and have absolutely no stones. Don't waste your time. It will just... (anger) you off... Marian's not hot enough to make up for the short comings and idiocy of this show.
