Every generation gets the Robin Hood it deserves. After a dashing adventure (The Adventures of Robin Hood), a ponderous retelling (Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves), spoofs (Mel Brooks' When Things Were Rotten and Robin Hood: Men in Tights), and even a cartoon (Disney's Robin Hood), this thoroughly modern 2006 BBC series brings cheeky wit, exuberant action, and fierce fencing and special effects-enhanced archery to the party. Scruffy Robin (Jonas Armstrong) returns home from the Crusades war-weary and "changed." But when he finds the countryside under the taxing grip of the brutal (he crushes birds with his bare hands!) Sheriff (Keith Allen) and his glowering lieutenant, Guy of Gisbourne (Richard Armitage), he takes up his bow and arrow against the injustice.
Series 1 depicts how Robin of Locksley becomes "Robin of the Wood" and then "Robin Hood," robbing from the rich and, well, you know the drill. "The peasants' hero," this Robin is a tad vainer than previous screen incarnations. As his former servant and wisecracking sidekick Much (Sam Troughton, who can be a bit much himself), observes, Robin likes to linger after his good deeds to see the looks of gratitude. Marian (Lucy Griffiths) is another revelation. The daughter of Nottingham's former sheriff, she doesn't exactly welcome Robin back with open arms. "Five years and you're still peddling the same drivel," she says after he spouts some romantic tripe. A formidable fighter and champion of justice herself, she has a surprising moonlighting gig best not revealed here. We also see the gathering of Robin's men (none call them "merry"), including hulking Little John (Gordon Kennedy), Allan-a-Dale (Joe Armstrong), and Will Scarlett (Harry Lloyd). Beautifully filmed in Hungary (what; England was booked?), Robin Hood is mostly grand escapist adventure, but there are unnerving scenes of violence that raise the stakes. In one episode, a peasant who won't reveal Robin's whereabouts has his tongue cut out, (mercifully offscreen). In another, a child is the victim of a sniper's arrow. . Robin Hood takes liberties with the oft-told story of the legendary folk hero, but it's so well played and rousingly entertaining, few should mind. --Donald Liebenson

Episode 1:
a) The local Sheriff attempts something sneaky, Tory, and politically incorrect.
b) But Robin's elementary counter plan succeeds at the last moment.
c) Unfortunately the Sheriff escapes serious harm and will be be back next episode with another slightly altered attempt.
d) Marian considers retuning to civilization but the attraction of living in a forest and Robin's mighty personality holds her for one more week among the merry band of winsome Liberals.

We loved watching Robin Hood on BBC America! The extras on the dvd are great and the whole family can watch the show.

There was fast shipping involved and the product seemed to be in good condition, however when i tried to watch it two of the episodes did not work at all and one skipped around a lot and was difficult to watch. i usually expect more from the amazon backed sellers and was extremely disappointed.

Want some HOT people with your fairey tale? This is the show for that. Richard Armitage alone is worth the price of the DVD(s).
Rating:  -
I had some problems and got the wrong season- not Season one which was what I ordered. But that was corrected in the week. But the copy I got has some glitches in it on one of the disc- even after a couple of good cleanings. Otherwise the program is very entertaning.
