Robyn Hood

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.

The writing is awful. The acting is cringe. The Directing is amateurish. Don't waste your time unless you watch this as a farce. How many of these White people are bad shows are they going to make? There seems to a be a lack of talent across the board on this production. As it turns out nothing matters when considering who to hire to make a TV series except the ability to do the job. Here they obviously made color the first requirement to disastrous effects. This Robin Hood tale has been made many times over and made better. This is a definite skip and will join Batwoman and she-hulk as a total waste.

A school play about promiscuous criminals who commit crimes and bemoan the consequences.

It's the same 'current year' approach to characters, plot, messaging, antagonists etc that you've seen in every single network show, film and book since 2015. Out of touch in the extreme and based in a pandering parody of reality, its the same fetishization of colour and class we've been forced to endure by the overlords for nearly a decade.

There are people who will pretend to like this for their own twisted reasons, but they know. You know. We all know.

Stealing is bad. Trespassing is bad. This show is bad.

Absolute toilet.

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".

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.
