This is probably the best Robin Hood i've seen. It's very light hearted, yet very entertaining. Don't go into this thinking you're gonna get a Robin from the recent Russell Crowe movie. If you've seen the recent Merlin tv series from the BBC, it's similar to that in theme and feeling. I was very leary of Jonas Armstrong as Robin at first, but he definitely grew on me.
If I have any complaints it is that Robin and his gang are always getting captured and held in the castle, yet they always escape. Almost to the point where It's 'too' unbelievable.
The first two seasons are quite different from the third. Most stories involving Marian and defying the sheriff and Guy. In the third season, we loose Marian, and Isabella is introduced as a Marian replacement. Don't think this a bad thing, Isabella is much better looking and easier on the eyes. I could never get past Marian's chin. Also, the main protagonist is changed when Prince John enters the show. Personally I think season three is just as good, if not better than the first two.
I would definitely recomend Robin Hood from the BBC for any who enjoy Merlin, and light hearted fair like Legend of the Seeker or Hercules and Xena.
