Robyn Hood

I can't make my mind up if it's the low budget or the story line that is the worst thing about this, but it was just unbearable. I have, and do, watch a fair few low budget B movies and I generally persist, but it's a rare thing that I give up, but I could not get through the first episode. It was just awful.

Sadly, it's one in a long line of activist style programming that puts activism before good storylines.

The acting is bad, sorry but it is. The opening scene where they fight off two police offices was just pathetic, unbelievable and the ease at which they got away was just yaaaawwwwnnnn!

I want my 30 minutes back! :(

A school play about promiscuous criminals who commit crimes and bemoan the consequences.

It's the same 'current year' approach to characters, plot, messaging, antagonists etc that you've seen in every single network show, film and book since 2015. Out of touch in the extreme and based in a pandering parody of reality, its the same fetishization of colour and class we've been forced to endure by the overlords for nearly a decade.

There are people who will pretend to like this for their own twisted reasons, but they know. You know. We all know.

Stealing is bad. Trespassing is bad. This show is bad.

Absolute toilet.

So I did as suggested, and used a VPN as it's not accessible in my country. I was curious as to how bad it could be possibly be. Well, I should have left those expectations at the door, because this exceeded them by far. It's sooo much worse than I could have ever imagined. I must admit that I actually enjoyed it, but for all the wrong reasons. It's not so bad that it's good, it's so bad that all you can really do is chuckle in a sort of defeated way that refuses to acknowledge that this show could actually become a reality. Do yourself a favour, watch the first episode if you feel you're in need of a lobotomy for whatever reason. More than one will leave you with permanent brain damage. This didn't deserve a critical review, because i'm fairly certain no critical thought was present in its creation.

The plot is contrived and beyond cartoonish. The aesthetics are helplessly childish. The dialogue is flat. The acting is horrible. The props prove that some people shouldn't be allowed a glue gun. The director would drag a school play down. The general outline for the plot could've worked, though. Corrupt city, evil corporation, threatened neighborhood, with a few references to the Robin Hood myth. The problem isn't the basic idea, it's the fact that it's implemented with complete incompetence and maximum cringe.

These writers don't understand the first thing about the original Robin Hood story. In that, the king was overtaxing the people to the point of starvation, so although with dubious methods, Robin had a justifiable reason to steal that money back, because it is rightfully the people's. Here the main characters are just thuggish criminals because they just want the rich white guy's stuff.

I bet you the creator of this POS read a cliff notes version and thinks that just because he robs the king he's just like them. Even when they themselves are sleeping in gated mansions with guards posted.

You know I went into this with an open mind I saw some of the ratings on other websites but I figured. Hey give it a shot. I am not exaggerating when I tell you this is hands-down the worst show I've ever seen. I literally feel embarrassed for the Director. I don't know who along the way in his life led him to believe he has some talent but my guy you need to find a different career path. I mean it's really really really. REALLY BAD.

I'm not opposed to reimagined storylines, but they need to actually be good. I really hope that in the future before this Director puts out any more content, he goes back to film school. It's not fair they good people like myself and many others unwittingly volunteer to have their precious time wasted by this garbage. The only redeeming quality of the show is that it is so bad and so pathetic that I did actually find myself giggling quite a bit.
