Robyn Hood

When the director felt it was needed to insult his audience, I also felt it was time for me to write what I think.

Characters : garbage Story : garbage Setting : garbage Special effects : bad Action : meaningless

There is not a single thing worth watching in this show. It's a total disaster. I stopped about 2/3 into the first episode while I generally give a new show 2-3 episodes before deciding. That's how cringe and bad this show is. Nobody should ever bother with this if they value their time, no matter how much of it they have to kill.

They even tried to give particular vestments colors to some characters. Were they trying to mimic Power Rangers in a Robin Hood setting? What a joke.

The plot is contrived and beyond cartoonish. The aesthetics are helplessly childish. The dialogue is flat. The acting is horrible. The props prove that some people shouldn't be allowed a glue gun. The director would drag a school play down. The general outline for the plot could've worked, though. Corrupt city, evil corporation, threatened neighborhood, with a few references to the Robin Hood myth. The problem isn't the basic idea, it's the fact that it's implemented with complete incompetence and maximum cringe.

These writers don't understand the first thing about the original Robin Hood story. In that, the king was overtaxing the people to the point of starvation, so although with dubious methods, Robin had a justifiable reason to steal that money back, because it is rightfully the people's. Here the main characters are just thuggish criminals because they just want the rich white guy's stuff.

I bet you the creator of this POS read a cliff notes version and thinks that just because he robs the king he's just like them. Even when they themselves are sleeping in gated mansions with guards posted.

A school play about promiscuous criminals who commit crimes and bemoan the consequences.

It's the same 'current year' approach to characters, plot, messaging, antagonists etc that you've seen in every single network show, film and book since 2015. Out of touch in the extreme and based in a pandering parody of reality, its the same fetishization of colour and class we've been forced to endure by the overlords for nearly a decade.

There are people who will pretend to like this for their own twisted reasons, but they know. You know. We all know.

Stealing is bad. Trespassing is bad. This show is bad.

Absolute toilet.

This is really really really bad..... Even if you get passed the bad acting, bad script, bad camera work, and bad production.... You are ultimately left with a terrible iteration of Robin Hood that ignores the original story....

These people are criminals straight up stealing from businesses.... For themselves.... Heres a little lesson for you kids.. They said "Robin Hood steals from the rich and gives to the poor" but thats not quite right. Robin stole from the govt, he stole back taxes and he spread it among the peasants. He didn't go raid the local vendor stalls.

Maybe if they labeled this as parody it could get a 2/10 at best.

Kevin Costner, all is forgiven. Every few years, it seems, we're given a modern update on a classic British tale, but mostly Tarzan, King Arthur, and Robin Hood. Every generation of directors must have their own go at this material, if only to prove their incompetence in understanding the reasons why the material has endured. And in 2023, "Robyn Hood" steps up to the plate and takes its swing at the ball.

The original story of Robin Hood is neutral and familiar. You can take this concept and make a good picture or a bad one, and the material can't be blamed.

If you're wondering whether the 2023 version is worth your time, ask yourself this: When I mention Kevin Costner above, do you know what I'm talking about? If yes, then go back and rewatch that version and skip this one. And even if you do not, watch that version instead of this one. Or pick one of the seemingly hundreds of other TV shows and movies based on this character. No matter which one you ultimately land on, it will be infinitely more interesting than 2023's "Robyn Hood".
