I am emotionally crippled by the Series 3 finale! I haven't cried as much at a T.V programme in a long time! The emotion came from knowing the characters from day 1, (being the avid watcher I am!) I have watched these characters develop (especially Much) and you feel you're going through everything with them. The story lines for Series 3 have been absolutely phenomenal compared to the last series! As much as it kills me to say it, Series 2 was not as great as it could have been, but series 3 has raised the bar! An utter triumph! I wasn't too keen on the Irish storyline from episode two it did not really develop or go anywhere or the silly love story with Kate and all the boys in the gang in episode 9 - (a bit silly) but the last 4 episodes were breathtaking.The introduction of Archer was the best thing about this series.That gorgeous hunk is precisely what RH was missing (a bit of Errol Flinn) The actor who plays Archer is electric and I'm sure is going to be a huge star...is he the real deal and a fab actor and a great addition to the gang..If not there new leader!!!!!! both my daughters and i think he is very hunky and my son thinks he is "so much cooler than robin"

So badly done. Please!! Please!!! do not waste your time watching this show. Spoiler: The Marion Death is the most unforgivable thing they did but, there were many other things that were just so poorly done. Several of the characters were wildly inconstant, particularly Gisborne. Who early on was established as a cold blooded killer but when the writers ran out of ideas they would just switch his character back and forth. There were so many of the episodes that were false dilemmas. That went on and on over and over again. It was like a bad soap opera. The writers disgraced and destroyed the story of Robin hood. BBC should be ashamed of themselves for putting this out. I have seen many other BBC stuff and loved it but this is just Horrific.

My family loved the "Robin Hood" BBC series and I'm stunned at how vicious some of these reviews are. Robin Hood is terrific entertainment for its demographic-- families and children aged 8-16. It is suspenseful, action-packed, true to the historical foundation and a terrific show.Obviously the show is a far cry from perfect:1. Like the "Merlin" series, it frequently falls into a repetitive trap with Robin and his gang cheating death/escaping the executioner every episode. 2.The action/fight scenes usually border on the absurd, as the outnumbered Merry Men wallop on heavily armored soldiers and receive nary a scratch. 3. By season 3 the story arc just becomes too much and things become a little silly. 4. They will not win any awards for costumes or historical authenticity.In the whole scheme of things the negatives are outweighed by the positives. Give it a try, your family will love it.

WASTE OF TIME, HERE'S WHY... There are at least some qualities to be said about this show. In the first season, you like the characters, you hate the villains, and some of the poor character decisions are bearable, possibly even understandable. Then, all the sudden, my daily boredom juice of watching this show turned into a sour concoction of evilness and political correct decisions made by so called heroes with stature, who have no problem killing all the kings guards, and then have an issue bringing their leader, who really is truly truly evil, to justice. WHAT'S WITH ALL THIS INJUSTICE! RAAAHHH! I can't quite find the appropriate words for a PG review. But these men, these writers, these characters that I was wrapped into liking, are cowardly, moronic, and have absolutely no stones. Don't waste your time. It will just... (anger) you off... Marian's not hot enough to make up for the short comings and idiocy of this show.
