Robin Hood - Season 1 (DVD, 2007, 5-Disc Set; Digipak)

When I first saw this show on BBCA, I wasn't sure I would like it. I wasn't crazy about the first episode, but I decided to try it a little longer, and I do like it now. I'm glad I gave it a chance! It is a very good mixture of history and modern themes for these modern times. Certain elements to me are not needed, such as having another girl in his gang besides Maid Marian. The action is wonderful and there are a lot of original scripts that I have not seen in other action shows. Robin is still a gallant figure but I also like that he is younger than some of the other Robin Hoods portrayed in films. Younger makes him have to grow up fast because he is portrayed immature and so he has to learn by mistakes. People actually get hurt on this show and die. Some are key characters. Some are hard to let go of because you become attached and want to see then in next week's show! I recommend this show to any families who would like a cleaner show with action and true-to-life characters. I have seen no sex in these shows, as of yet. There is very little cussing or swearing. The music is riviting and inspiring as good as many feature films. I rate the first season with an A+ and hope this show lasts a few seasons more.
