Robin Hood - Season 1 (2007, DVD)

The Robin Hood Series - Season 1 from the BBC is a must have set! This is a young modern version of Robin Hood and his band of thieves that will keep you entertained throughout the entire series. This series has it all...drama, comedy, romance and action. Be warned...this is not always true to the traditional stories of Robin Hood...so approach the show with an open mind and you will be pleasantly rewarded.

We love Robin Hood. I love the actors they have been cast very well. This TV series is my favorite TV series so far. I don't want to over rate this, but it is so good and I love it. We saw one episode at a friends house and came home that night and bought the series. At first at the friends house I wasn't much into it because it was Robin Hood and it had been done so many times before. When it arrived in the mail and we started watching it the cast grabs your attention and then you start to love Robin Hood, Marion, the Sherif, Mulch, and the rest. Great Buy from a Great Seller!!

I absolutely love this series. I can watch it over and over again, I can't wait until season 2! Gr8 quality DVDs and fun all th time. The actors are great! I can't say enough!

It's a BBC series and really is good. The new season 2 just started so I bought this to catch up - really enjoyed it

didn't really like the first couple of episodes but the more you watch it, the more interesting it gets. watch it, you won't regret it. i mean, the guy is like freaking hot. if not for anything, you would watch Robin Hood for him.

this is one of my favorite series but it also extremly expense but however this seller had a great deal and i am so happy they are awsome and i highly reccomend them

Just what I was looking for . Love the show. I am a big fan of the show. Can't wait until season starts. I'm a Renni , so this is the perfect DVD for me. Hope to see more items like it up for bid soon.

Truly one of my favorite new TV programs. I love this take on Robin Hood. It is able to give a more human perspective on the character while still being fun, exciting, and suspenseful. You will laugh alot and sometimes cringe alot. You will root for the heroes and against the nasty sheriff (played exceptionally well here. I would recommend this to any fan of Robin Hood who has waited for a great TV version of the show.

I like the action, drama, story line, the actors and I just had to have it for my collection. And, Jonas Armstrong is pretty hot!

This DVD Collection is a 5 DVD set. Though hesitant at first, the BBC Robin Hood proves to be an excellent recounting of a honorable British tale.

When I first watched this show, I thought the arrow sound effect was dumb, but it grows on you. This updated version is entertaining, well written, and often funny... I just found out season 2 begins in October on BBC.. I cannot for this top notch series to return here to America..

This is a fast paced series that debunks the movie myths of yesteryear. The characters are not always "heroic" even Robin. He is known for his temper and stubborness in this BBC export. Maid Marian is a night crusader for the poor on the side and very definite on her views of right and wrong. The so-called romance made famous from legend and old movies does not exist in this series. Oh, they care for each other, and Robin is more prone to being more open than she (due to her sense of duty), it provides a nice friction and contrast between them. The season ends with without leaving you dangling, although King Richard has not returned and several other running threads have not been tied, but it is more satisfying if this is the end of the series.

Let's hope not. This set retails for $80 and runs under 600 minutes--pricy! If you have cable with the BBC channel it is shown on Action Sunday and runs two shows a week. It is a box set worth owning. The sets are grim but fit the time era perfectly and the all British cast do well in their roles. Star Jonas Armstrong may not physically appear to be an "ideal" Robin Hood (a bit too thin and short in stature) but displays the cunning and tenacity of the character and makes it work. Lucy Griffiths as Marian (or Marion) is a bit plump but pleasing to the eye and is very good in her role as well. She's no raving beauty but she does have more "spunk" than the usual damsel in distress that so many of the Robin hood movies portray her.

Worthwhile, but watch that pricing and since this is an import ensure you are getting "Region 1" and not "2" or it may not work on your player! Also, some of the newer models will not play the "all region" codes, check your manual before you invest and also see the coding on the product before you bid or purchase.

Nice twist on the oft told legend.

This is THE "Robin Hood" for the year 2000. The plot of each episode is spellbinding, and the viewer becomes so involved with the story. Every character in the series has so many facets. Robin Hood is handsome and heroic, yet he has his faults. He thinks quickly to solve multiple problems and is always fighting for his countrymen. Marion is very different in this "Robin Hood", as she plays a major character role. She is bold, adventerous; and she loves her countrymen as much as Robin. Marion shares the screen with Robin here, she is not just a love interest. The Sheriff of Knottingham is evil to the core, yet there is something very likeable about him. He is so sarcastic and full of himself. Robin's merry men are delightful! And there is a girl in his band of theives, "Jack". This is quite a twist, with "Jack" being such an interesting character that everyone will like. This is a beautiful series to watch. The setting and costumes dazzle! The costumes are not your typical wardrobe garb. With a low bow to Errol Flynn, since he will always be my hero; this series is the best "Robin Hood" yet. Everything about it leaves the viewer wanting more. Don't miss this one!!!

This is a great series. I nice new look on the classic tale of Robin Hood. The acting is great, especially that of Keith Allen. It is a pretty corny show, but if you don't let that bother you it is a very enjoyable show. It is clean, funny, and action packed. A truly creative look on the story of Robin Hood.
