Robin Hood

For those interested in history Robin Hood has been identified thanks to two researchers Rob and David who discovered a pardon for him in the Public Record Office at Kew. Contemporary to Robin was John Gisbourne who was the hated Lord Mayor of York at the time of the Peasants Revolt.

non the less the show was on its way to "death" and i believe its better that they ended it as they did while it was still-kinda-good rather than dragging it more, at least we got a good ending. whether they make a 4th season with archer as the new robin or not, we know that the original one ended in a good way. these days we're truly lucky that the story did end and not just cancel the show all of a sudden with a cliffhanger like half the shows out there.moreless

Honestly, the show was great... but how many times can they break in and out of the castle before it gets old... and honestly, half the reason I watched the show was to see Marian, who was slammin hot... and they just off her in season 2???? WHAT?

After that the show just kind of got too boring and formulaic for me...

If you want predictable and methodic week to week storytelling without any real advancement in the story accompanied by new characters who become more annoying with every episode... (yes, I'm referring to the new blond girl they brought in... who was annoying before she became a regular and is even moreso every time she opens her mouth...) then watch the show... otherwise, don't waste your time... this show had its day, and the writers gave it an arrow through the heart when they offed Marian.moreless

It's a great show. Those who like medieval ages it is certainly a must to be watch TV show. Though it did not have a happy-ending but hey this is the close to historical fact and that's whats made the show a great one. Though I doubt the death of Marian in Acre. It made me sad to watch both Marian and Robin sis not met their desire to marry each other in the lifetime. Thanks to the production house for a clean family TV show (unlike thew other shows in 90's like robin hood, Sindbad, Hercules, Xena where showing of the cleavages seems a medieval fashion! ) I request BBC to show more of this kind of tv show with such integrity.moreless

This was one of toughs shows where it started amazing, I loved it every episode. The characters where really fun and Jonas Armstrongs portrayal of robin hood was really well done abit of a witty action hero. I really enjoyed there very true-full and historic telling of a story as infamous as Robin hood. It was a shame that it got over looked during season 3. I didn't understand how BBC let a show like this slip under the radar like it did. the first 2 seasons where the best I loved the hole crusade references, and the fighting is top notch with the sword fighting.moreless
