Robin Hood - Season One (5DVD)
Customer's review
Sometimes cliched, but still good!
Season one of Robin Hood started off alright, but picked up towards the end -- with massive sword fights, a hero who finally had enough and was willing to play naughty, and even mutiny within the ranks of the merry men.
Like other reviewers claimed, there was just the right pinch of adventure (even a flashback to when Robin protected the King in the Holy Land), romance (can we say "love triangle" much?), humour and evil.
Most people know the story of Robin Hood and will notice differences compared to Kevin Costner's version, or even the older Hollywood versions of Robin Hood. Yes, the wardrobe in this version is much more modern, and Marian (Lucy Griffiths) plays a feminist, who fights against cruelty and injustice. There are also historical anachronisms or "that doesn't make sense" moments, but for the most part, it's an enjoyable, eye-candy series.
Robin Hood BBC Production 2006
Absolutely brilliant, kudos again to the BBC for coming up with this gem. The actors the acting superb, dramatic, funny, what can one say, I can't wait for the next series, it has a real cult following in England and Canada, this is what we need a feel good series without the usual sex, drugs and rubbish that are a constant on the US networks.
Like comfort food for the brain.
Every so often the BBC conjures up a show that they seem to put all their best creative efforts into and come out with something as brillant as this. Unlike many other shows out there these days that race through at top speed to make as action-packed-edge-of-seat-every-moment-super-stressful as possible, Robin Hood as just the perfect amount of action, adventure, humour, wit and romance to make it both interesting and thoroughly enjoyable.
Where it is a wonderful rendition of a classic tale, fresh, new and unique with narrative echoes to it's predecessors, it is still just formulatic enough to be reassuring, heartening. Like comfort food.
