    TV Show Review: BBC’s Robin Hood Episode 1.1 “Will You Tolerate This?”

    Now, out of all of my top 10 favorite shows, I would expect this one to be the most unheard of. Robin Hood is a BBC television series that only lasted 3 seasons, but I never understood why since it was so good!! Everybody knows the legend of Robin Hood. Well, in this series, it follows Robin and his “merry men” (as they are always called in the old tales), a band of outcasts, as they live in Sherwood Forest and help out the townspeople being oppressed by the Sheriff of Nottingham. As you can imagine, there’s tons of action, whether that’s Robin’s gang fighting their way out of a tricky situation in Nottingham or flashbacks of Robin fighting in the Holy Land, where he came back from after years of fighting alongside the King of England.

    There’s also the classic love story intertwined within the plot, mainly between Robin and Marian, the former sheriff’s daughter. The struggle they go through to hide their love from the current sheriff keeps the plot even more interesting. Not only does she love Robin, but she also lives in the castle and keeps him and his gang informed on the goings on in the castle.

    Between the action, love story, clever plots, and amusing characters in each episode, Robin Hood kept me addicted to Netflix for a whole summer! There’s just something about the story of Robin Hood that I’ve always loved, so finding this series years ago put me in heaven. I even got my friend addicted to it, and later on we crossed off “Watch the final episode of Robin Hood together” off our bucket list, which was a very sad day… It was easy to tell that they were trying to wrap up the series quickly, so the end wasn’t my favorite, but I won’t give that away!

    Is there a TV series that you discovered out of the blue and was relatively unknown but ended up loving?
