Topic: Robin Hood (2025)
https://next-episode.net/robin-hood-2025 
Robin Hood is described as a sweeping, romantic adventure, a modern take of the classic tale that brings historical authenticity, psychological depth, and a heightened focus on the relationship between Rob and Marian.In the series, following the Norman invasion of England, Rob - a Saxon forester's son - and Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord - fall in love and work together to fight for justice and freedom. As Rob rises as the leader of a band of rebel outlaws, Marian infiltrates the power at court, as both work together to thwart royal corruption and bring peace to the land.
Anyone planning on watching this?

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
I am gonna give it a try, but it has to come close to at least one of the versions I like to keep me going: Robin Hood (1973)
Animated fox version, first I have ever seen and still my favorite Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Which has another great quote:
AZEEM: Salaam, little one
BOY: Did God paint you?
AZEEM: Did God paint me? Haha:for certain
BOY: Why?
AZEEM: Because Allah loves wondrous variety.
Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993)
A story is only as good as it's parodies

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33484460/ It's got Sean Bean - I'm in.
The guy is so good: IMDB says he's in 11 episodes of this 10 episode season!

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
Connie Nielsen is also someone to look out for

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
MGM+ doesn't reliably deliver quality shows, and the trailer doesn't look like it's going to be a great show... Curious to see the IMDb rating a week after episode 1.

High fives to low sixes is my guess.

Did you not enjoy the great series from the 80's (or maybe you haven't seen it):
Robin Of Sherwood
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086791/
That one was my favorite (but that's just me). And this one was decent enough (not horrible):
Robin Hood

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
I've known of the latter one, but not the first one. I'm pretty sure I gave the 2006 version a try back then, but can't tell you why I didn't continue watching it. Maybe this is the chance to give it another go

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
Watched the first Episode just now. Since this was basically just a prequel to the main story, I will give it another episode. So far I can only say that the main characters (Robert + Marian) have zero personality and zero chemistry with each other. ▼Spoiler It's the typical annoying time jump from ~10-12 years old to probably ~18 years old.
But apart from looking older both characters do not seem to have done anything to shape their personalities or interests during this time...just waited around for the plot to happen I guess... meh.

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
Ok, decided to watch ep1, just to see. Got about 2/3rds into it and stopped. I suppose I was predisposed to dislike it to begin with. Certain stories, IMO, have just been told too many times already. I mean, there were over 40 title matches for Robinhood at IMDB. I find it hard to get into to a new show where you already know the main plot. I would make exception to something that was told poorly the first time and remade to tell it better. In the case of this show, it didn't seem terrible. But it definitely wasn't good either. Sean Bean, unfortunately, didn't do anything to help this show. Almost got the impression he really didn't want to be there. On a positive note, I did like the forest

Give Robin Hood to the https://next-episode.net/the-boys team and I'm sure I'll want to watch the result!

I suppose a dark parody of Robinhood might be an improvement

I could watch (would want) a dark parody of almost every story

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
After episode two I would describe it as "not bad, but also not good enough"

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
I got half way through episode 1 and pulled the plug and removed if from my watch list I have more than enough to watch at the moment to waste time with this show.

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
2 episodes and the back story is complete. E2 was better than E1 so I'm hoping E3 will be better also...only time will tell

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
Actually, I like it. No weird diversity cast and a pretty honest telling of the story with a bit of different twist.

I am not a hater... I just give the shows a try and if they annoy me, I drop them. The comment about race swapping Little John... I don't give a BLEEP, he works well in the setting. Fine for me. That doesn't make the show annoyingly diverse and cringy.

Re: Robin Hood (2025)
Always been a huge Robin hood fan so I'm biased. But this is actually pretty good. 7 or 8 out of 10 so far for me. Gotta love Sean. I think he's maybe having difficulty playing the bad guy.
