Robyn Hood (2023)
Not sure who this is aimed at
I am not sure if this is a spoof or a tax write off. Its just demonstrably bad in all aspects. The music made my ears bleed, the story makes no sense and the plot appears to have been written on the back of a fag packet while drunk.
I will try be positive, the idea of remaking a traditional English folk tale in the current world had possibilities, unfortunately this show so far has made no use of them.
Once I start a show I will usually finish it even if its bad but I dont think that I can get past the first few episodes. The show I think is trying to replicate the robin hood tale which at its heart is poor downtrodden peasants being taxed to death by a heartless nobility, however all i can see is a bunch of incompetent criminals (who goes to commit crimes at night with LED masks?) and then being chased by even more incompetent police.
A hint for the show-runners, try to make your audience actually like your heroes, maybe have them suffer a bit, show the yoke they are suffering under before they resort to crime. So far all I can see is criminals who steal from rich people (but then why would you steal from poor people?) with no real motivation other than self service.
I was actually rooting for the character who was robbed, he actually seemed to make more sense (I suspect this was not the intent, if it was an there is a twist then I may increase my score but I suspect this is not the case).
I cannot think of a TV show that I have seen which is worse than this one, so it broke that barrier I suppose.
