Robyn Hood

You know I went into this with an open mind I saw some of the ratings on other websites but I figured. Hey give it a shot. I am not exaggerating when I tell you this is hands-down the worst show I've ever seen. I literally feel embarrassed for the Director. I don't know who along the way in his life led him to believe he has some talent but my guy you need to find a different career path. I mean it's really really really. REALLY BAD.

I'm not opposed to reimagined storylines, but they need to actually be good. I really hope that in the future before this Director puts out any more content, he goes back to film school. It's not fair they good people like myself and many others unwittingly volunteer to have their precious time wasted by this garbage. The only redeeming quality of the show is that it is so bad and so pathetic that I did actually find myself giggling quite a bit.

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".

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.

I can't make my mind up if it's the low budget or the story line that is the worst thing about this, but it was just unbearable. I have, and do, watch a fair few low budget B movies and I generally persist, but it's a rare thing that I give up, but I could not get through the first episode. It was just awful.

Sadly, it's one in a long line of activist style programming that puts activism before good storylines.

The acting is bad, sorry but it is. The opening scene where they fight off two police offices was just pathetic, unbelievable and the ease at which they got away was just yaaaawwwwnnnn!

I want my 30 minutes back! :(

So I did as suggested, and used a VPN as it's not accessible in my country. I was curious as to how bad it could be possibly be. Well, I should have left those expectations at the door, because this exceeded them by far. It's sooo much worse than I could have ever imagined. I must admit that I actually enjoyed it, but for all the wrong reasons. It's not so bad that it's good, it's so bad that all you can really do is chuckle in a sort of defeated way that refuses to acknowledge that this show could actually become a reality. Do yourself a favour, watch the first episode if you feel you're in need of a lobotomy for whatever reason. More than one will leave you with permanent brain damage. This didn't deserve a critical review, because i'm fairly certain no critical thought was present in its creation.
