Robin Hood Next Gen 
2008-09-06
As a child I was always fond of the tale of Robin Hood. He was very much the blue print of modern day super heroes. His bravery and benevolence had a profound effect on me so I was very interegd when I heard the BBC was making a new and modern version. After watching the first season I was pretty pleased with the direction that they decided to take with Robin. The basic outline has Robin returning with his man servant from the Crusades only to find his beloved home town of Locksley run by a corrupt sheriff. Robin has a choice, give in to the Sheriff and retain the lands owned to him or resist. Robin resists of course and take to the woods where he wages (non bloody) gorilla warfare on the Sheriff and his goons. Robin Hood is pretty entertaining but it goes get repetitive quick. Many episodes are the following, The Sheriff or Robin have a plan to screw the other over, One of Robin's men gets caught, Robin rescues them. The Sheriff gets mad,swears revenge. usually in that order. With that aside the show has some cool components that make it unique to other versions of Robin hood. Like Marian being the vigilante "The Knight Watchmen" and the constant back drop of the Crusades. Though the show often wanders into "Xena: Warrior Princess" like campy it still is very worth addition to the Robin Hood Mythos. check it out!
Medieval Fun! 2008-08-08
I'm kind of a purist so don't usually go for modern takes on ancient legends but for some reason, this one works. The good guys are oh so good and the bad guys are deliciously bad. It's been hard to get used to the yummy Richard Armitage in the role of a villain, but with those dark, smoldering eyes and dour countenance, he's very believable. As is the Sheriff of Nottingham who is played just this side of completely insane by Keith Allen. There's loads of action and enough humor to make each episode really entertaining. I haven't seen season two yet and I hear it gets a little darker than season one but I'm in this for the long haul and will enjoy as many episodes as the BBC is willing to make. Good stuff!
A fun Watch 2008-08-01
I have been a fan of Robin Hood since I was a kid. I love this version of Robin Hood, it has action comedy and in general very entertaining to watch. Funny thing is you even start liking the villians, the sherif is hilarious. Guy is confused :) I wonder if they will bring some one in for Friar Tuck. I just hope they keep making this series and do not end it just after two seasons.

The story line is absolutely wonderful. Has a James Bond theme but earlier in history.Good man got burned, now revenge and hint of bloosming love aslo feels the air. Refreshing.

Gotta love the baddies... 2008-07-14
This series is fantastic! It's well developed and the filming style is fun and engaging. I have to admit that even though Robin Hood is obviously the character the series revolves around (gee, go figure!) I fell completely in love with Sir Guy of Gisborne. He's the second bad guy of the series, with only The Sheriff in front of him, but I think he really adds that little extra omph! that the series needs to make it a hit. Not to mention Richard Armitage is beautiful, but still. The series gets just a tid bit campy at times but I think it only adds to the feel of the show. I recommend it highly and the second season is even better!
Good family fun! 2008-07-08
We first saw this last year on BBC America and enjoyed them as a family (I have five boys!). The characters were developed well and though Maid Marion is more modernistic and feministic than the period of the 12th century would ever allow,(she looks more and dresses like a modern Brit than a 12th century lady) its all in good fun if they dont get carried away into political correctness. Can't wait to get the second season!!
Exceptional! 2008-06-26
Love this series! Clean, Fun, and engaging! Love the characters good and bad; and the stories too! Even my older boys enjoy them!
Robin Hood: Fun in the Forest 2008-06-24
This Season 1 set is a really good buy. There are plenty of extras profiling the actors, characters, sets, costumes, stunts and series production. This Robin Hood is a treat--recommended for Hood fans with a wry sense of humor and an enjoyment of twisted history. Not for children under 12.
