This really is a Robin of Locksley for the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" generation. Read full review

Alynda Wheat

For the willing, it's still a story worth hearing. [2 Mar 2007, p.64]

Ginia Bellafante

Briskly paced and amusingly corny. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

"Robin Hood" boasts most of the usual problems with low-budget epics.... But the show has wit and energy. Read full review

Charlie McCollum

You'll get hooked on it early and should stick around to the very end -- even though you have a good idea of what's coming. Read full review

Barry Garron

If there is a chink to this series' armor, it is in the casting of Armstrong in the title role. Read full review

Brian Lowry

If this attempt to put a youthful spin on Robin Hood isn't bad per se, it's at best a warmed-over remake that would be diverting for kids if it wasn't occasionally quite violent. Read full review

I've enjoyed the series since it started. This is a show that is entertaining and is fun to watch with the whole family. It just keeps on getting better with each episode.

This is one of few shows that my husband and I both love! The plots are excellent, the show features strong women as well as strong men, and they've managed to take these characters out of their former childlike/cartoonlike personas and into totally 3D and realistic people.

Deeply flawed... yet still fun. The biggest two faults with this show are its unnecessary over-the-top stunts (like throwing swords 30 feet and hitting a target) and Robin Hood's inconsistent pacifism.

The biggest two faults with this show are its unnecessary over-the-top stunts (like throwing swords 30 feet and hitting a target) and Robin Hood's inconsistent pacifism. The Sheriff's life is frequently in Robin Hood's hands, Robin says he will not kill a man, and so the Sheriff's reign continues. Okay, I can accept that. Except that when some hapless guards (just following orders) get into a scuffle with the Merry Men, they kill without hesitation. I can overlook modernization of language and historical inaccuracies (not a big deal), but this show also has Robin walking around in town square without a hood, and nobody recognizing him. If you can get past all of that... it's probably worth watching. Robin Hood's character is charming (and annoyingly conceited) and some of the dialogue is pretty witty. Most of the casting is pretty decent, and the characters fit well enough. There are even moments where the sheriff's second in command Guy Gisborne almost seems human (unlike the sheriff). Basically... the show is worth a shot. It's flawed, it has a number of stale moments, but at its core, it's something pretty special.… Expand
