Critique:
This series depicts Robin Hood in a more "cool", modern way. It incorporates humor, good acting and more-than-adequate writing to keep the viewer entertained and coming back for more episodes. It is not the traditional story, but very similar. The extras and featurettes for this show are a great addition to the DVD collection. If you are a fan of this hooded, fairy tale you will love this series!
