Robyn Hood

The plot is contrived and beyond cartoonish. The aesthetics are helplessly childish. The dialogue is flat. The acting is horrible. The props prove that some people shouldn't be allowed a glue gun. The director would drag a school play down. The general outline for the plot could've worked, though. Corrupt city, evil corporation, threatened neighborhood, with a few references to the Robin Hood myth. The problem isn't the basic idea, it's the fact that it's implemented with complete incompetence and maximum cringe.

These writers don't understand the first thing about the original Robin Hood story. In that, the king was overtaxing the people to the point of starvation, so although with dubious methods, Robin had a justifiable reason to steal that money back, because it is rightfully the people's. Here the main characters are just thuggish criminals because they just want the rich white guy's stuff.

I bet you the creator of this POS read a cliff notes version and thinks that just because he robs the king he's just like them. Even when they themselves are sleeping in gated mansions with guards posted.

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.

I can't make my mind up if it's the low budget or the story line that is the worst thing about this, but it was just unbearable. I have, and do, watch a fair few low budget B movies and I generally persist, but it's a rare thing that I give up, but I could not get through the first episode. It was just awful.

Sadly, it's one in a long line of activist style programming that puts activism before good storylines.

The acting is bad, sorry but it is. The opening scene where they fight off two police offices was just pathetic, unbelievable and the ease at which they got away was just yaaaawwwwnnnn!

I want my 30 minutes back! :(

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".

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.
