"Robin of Locksley, master of the bow, champion of the poor."
I have recently started watching BBC's tv series: Robin Hood, and I love it! Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved the story of robin hood. It's one of those stories that has it all, action, adventure, romance, humor. So when I heard that a new Robin Hood movie was coming out in 2010 I was disappointed that it was not as good as it could have been. I know that there are a lot of Russell Crow fans out there but he just does not do much for me. At the time I remember being disappointed because another Robin Hood movie probably would not be made in awhile. I did not know at the time that the BBC Robin Hood tv show had already been made and that I would LOVE it.
I originally started watching this show because I like Richard Armitage as the Guy of Gisbourne. In my opinion, to have a good "Hero, good vs evil" type story it is vital to have a good villain.
What I love about this show is the lightheartedness about it. It is also a very clean and moral tv show. The characters that are meant to be the "Heroes" actually are heroic honorable characters. Yes, there are some cheesey moments but once you get into the show you do not even care anymore. While the heroes are good people, the villains are very evil. Even though this show is for the most part lighthearted the bad people are bad and therefore do bad things. Still, very mild when it comes to tv shows.
All of the characters are so likeable. You just can't help but Love this group of outlaws :)

I highly recommend this TV show. It is on Netflix now, so go watch it! (skip the pilot episode, it's not very good)
(Also, One of Robin's outlaws looks just like my brother in law. just saying...)
