My hubby & I got hooked on this show through the BBC, but was shocked when we went to purchase it at the Local BBuy - Holy Cow was it expensive! $72.00 for a TV dvd series? Are you kidding?! I was so surprised when I saw this on Amazon for the price & snatched it up for my husband's Bday - we love it! Thanks for the deal, Amazon!

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!

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!

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.
