Robin Hood

I would have to say Robin Hood is my second favorite TV show, (The Closer is in first...at the moment)

Robin Hood is a pretty good show. It's very clean with almost no language, there is some violence (mostly sword fights) and there is a lot of death-at least one person per show- although it's not bloody. There is also almost no "iffy" content, which is good for any TV show, but it's incredible for BBC America. Which brings me to a word of warning...Record/Tivo/DVR/or rent the show because the commercials for the other shows on BBC are absolutely horrendous.

I only saw season 2, so I can't vouch for season 1, but everything I saw was very good.

The plot is okay, kinda predictable, but I enjoy it. It depends on who you watch it with. Cue my Dad: "Oh come on! He just killed a guy in cold blood, but he lets the kids live? Whatever."

However!

The show grows on you, by the season finale my dad was calling me while I was in Wisconsin to express his shock and disbelief at one of the deaths that occurred in the show.

So, watch a few episodes, and see how you like it.
It's clean and it's fun.
5 stars out of 5.
