Just one guy's opinion.

I like Robin Hood. And I've seen lots of variations on the theme.

Based on the recommendation here I ordered it in from Netflix. Live and learn. Just today I watched 2 episodes and moved on to something better.

I find it a real weak effort. It is supposed to be a depiction of the middle ages but it screams eighties from the mullet haircuts to the high color, cheesy costumes and sets and the soft, highly staged tumbles. A casual script. Just not a thoughtful treatment, I think.

A fine example of English mediocrity, yet can't quite manage be bad enough to be good, dadgum it. Just a commercial product to fill TV hours. I can think of a quick half dozen takes on R.H. that I like better.

I understand perfectly that others might like it.
