Customer Reviews

love it!!
id just like to say for all those people moaning that this show is not accurate nobody has claimed that the new robin hood series is historically acurate it is a modern take on an old classic wich i really enjoyed and if you dont like it dont watch it
simple!!

Very good
Volume 2 is where the series really picks up for me but i did enjoy these episodes too.

There are two outlaws with Little John and Roy that disappear after the second episode. Il never understand that and it does mess things up a bit for me. Overall it is a great modern attempt at the story and more accurate than the Kevin Costner movie.

Enjoyable
I have to say, when I first watched episode one i wasn't that impressed. There are a lot of flaws:

1. the costumes. only Marian changes clothes. They're unrealistic but bearable at the same time, so they're not the biggest flaw.

2. makeup on the actresses. the make up on the boys is good though (wounds i mean) but the actresses have too much on. you can see marian is pretty, she doesn't need so much makeup to make her pretty.

3. the script. episode one's wasn't very good. there's nothing wrong with the acting though.

I continued to watch this series and episode two was much better. actual fun and entertainment and it got better as the series went by. the best episodes in my opinion were 8,11,12 and 13. they were so good and thrilling you could easily ignore the flaws and enjoy it.
