Summary: How could they??!!
Comment: My husband is happy that I like a series with no sex and limited violence (I was watching too many HBO and Shotime series, apparently), but plenty of action and romance (and occasionally a very annoying slow motion scene). Do not read any further as I may spoil something for you. I thought this series was wonderful. Is the series ended? Because when you kill a main character (not really sure if they are dead, hoping not) and abandon 2 more in the Holy Land, why would I want to watch Season 3? They killed the only person, man or woman, who was actually attractive on that show. A character that needs to live through the tale. Again, not sure if they are dead. And I guess the series can't be over until the 2 baddies are dead or banished. I was glad that the wayward Robin companion returned (I knew they would), but not enough to lose three main characters. I'm disappointed.

Summary: Robin Hood Follower
Comment: I've been a fan of anything Robin Hood since reading Pyle's version of RH at the age of 9. I like the fact that there are those out there who are willing to re-write the RH story. While this DVD of the BBC show is good, I can understand how it could disappoint. It follows the pure RH version very loosely, but in my opinion it is fresh, new and presents an interesting twist to the story. It has action, humor, and just enough seriousness to make it work.

Comment: Everything I had to know about this dvd was stated before I purchased it. It arrived in excellent condition & before it was expected. I would definitely buy from this dealer again.

Summary: Wha' Happened?
Comment: Here's what I said about Season One:
"This version of Robin Hood is fantastic. So much better than the '80s Robin Hood BBC series...This is a Robin Hood for fans of Indiana Jones and The Lord of the Rings. A gorgeous score, wonderful costumes, outstanding performances, riveting plots, cunning twists...Aside from the biased, uninformed view against Christianity that is evident in the writing, I endorse this Robin Hood wholeheartedly. Worth the full price! I can't wait for Season Two!"
And then I bought Season Two the day it came out...Um...what the heck happened? Did the writers just get in a big hurry? Did everybody lose their sense of humor? All of a sudden, this great Robin Hood story turns into a lackluster, boring crawl through Sherwood Forest. These characters I grew to love (and love to hate) in Season One are now making me want to walk away for a sandwich mid-sentence. I'm very disappointed in the way Season Two decided to turn. I won't be returning for Season Three.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Highly enjoyable
Comment: I truly enjoyed this series and so did my 14 year old son who has an interest in archery and watching this made his interest renewed.

The contemporary retelling of the popular legend is back for a second series with more breathtaking archery, incredible swordplay, lots of humour, fun and energy, a smattering of brute force, and the raw determination to right wrongs. The Sheriff is in the final stages of a plot to kill King Richard upon his return from the Holy Land. The Sheriff also wants Robin Hood dead and with his devastating sister Davina, sets about catching him once and for all. It seems only a matter of time until Marian escapes to the forest and she and Robin can be together. Until that is, Gisborne turns up at Knighton Hall and razes it to the ground, seizing Marian and Edward and placing them under house arrest in the castle. Marian and Robin now separate for the good of England, Marian as the castle spy, and Robin leading his gang in the forest and villages of Nottingham... DVD Features:
