Thank you so much.
DVD Review: The most entertaining British serial I've ever seen
Summary: 5 Stars
I think this is brilliant serial, because: 1) It's interesting for the whole family; 2)The storyline is very exciting; 3)Richard Armitage is perfect for the Guy of Gisborne role! DVD Review: Witty, full of suspense and saddnes.
Summary: 3 Stars
Please! say it ain't so. It was a wrongful death I tell you! What is the series without this individual? What is Robbin without this individual? It's always been Robin and well... Let me not give away the deatils but the ending had better be a fluke.DVD Review: AWESOME
Summary: 5 Stars
This show is just awesome. However, prepare to be a little dissapointed at the season finale, they change things around.DVD Review: better than season 1
Summary: 4 Stars
The cast is back, including Sir Guy STILL wearing his cowboy duster/biker dude outfit; but the plots are better, the acting from Marian is better, and the love triangle becomes a bit more believable, as Griffiths brought more to her role in this season than in the first one (obviously having learned something from working in the presence of people such as Keith Allen and Richard Armitage). Joe Armstrong as the two timing Allan a Dale, who becomes the sidekick to Sir Guy (or the sidekick of the sidekick) was particularly enjoyable for me in this season.
Again, my biggest disappointment as a Catholic was, again, no decent clerical characters to balance out the 'bad' ones. In one episode, 'Catholic' Robin even punches an evil cleric so that he falls down a flight of stairs. ANY Catholic would know, evil or not, to hit a priest, with the priestly character on his soul, was tantamount to hitting Christ Himself and considered a mortal sin. The only time one would be allowed to 'manhandle' a priest was if he was in the act of actually harming himself or someone else physically - and even in that case one is not allowed to use more force than necessary. (Allan a Dale even pushes over a nun in one episode to get her 'seal' to fool Guy that Marian is writing from the convent.) Again, the history revisionists at the BBC are having their fun at the expense of historical reality, but....what can one expect of the current anti Christian climate in the world?
Other than THAT the show was entertaining, though still with it's anachronisms in dialogue and detail. At least Marian wasn't wearing any Sandra Dee type sweaters like the gold one she wore in one episode in season 1.
Description of Robin Hood - Season 2
The contemporary retelling of the popular legend is back for a second series with more breathtaking archery, incredible swordplay, lots of humour, fun and energy, a smattering of brute force, and the raw determination to right wrongs. The Sheriff is in the final stages of a plot to kill King Richard upon his return from the Holy Land. The Sheriff also wants Robin Hood dead and with his devastating sister Davina, sets about catching him once and for all. It seems only a matter of time until Marian escapes to the forest and she and Robin can be together. Until that is, Gisborne turns up at Knighton Hall and razes it to the ground, seizing Marian and Edward and placing them under house arrest in the castle. Marian and Robin now separate for the good of England, Marian as the castle spy, and Robin leading his gang in the forest and villages of Nottingham...DVD Features:
Audio Commentary
Featurette
The Sheriff (Keith Allen) puts Operation Shah Mat (translation: Kill the King) into action. He assembles a garrison of hundreds of men, the dread Black Knights. He commissions the development of indestructible armor that will turn his army into Iron Men. To fund his plans, he plots to cheat a high-rolling Bavarian aristocrat, while Robin (Jonas Armstrong) and company try to pull an Ocean's 11 and rob his impenetrable Strong Room. But big picture: The Sheriff is determined to intercept King Richard upon his return to England and kill him. Robin receives the clandestine help of Marian (Lucy Griffiths), who, with her ailing father, is being held under house arrest in the castle. After the mostly rollicking romp that was Series One, Series Two of this royally entertaining BBC series takes a decidedly darker, Empire Strikes Back turn (let's just hope that next time around, Robin and his men don't find Ewoks in Sherwood Forrest). Along with the daring rescues, swashbuckling fights, and anachronistic dialogue ("Get with the program, Gisborne") that are this series' stock in trade, Robin's tireless campaign against the Sheriff gets very personal. In the first episode, the Sheriff's snake-fancying sister is killed while trying to administer "death by fanging" to Robin, and Gisborne (Richard Armitage), still smarting from being jilted at the author, burns Marian's home to the ground. Later, Robin discovers that one of his men, not so merry, is a Gisborne spy. And there is a shocking death in the finale that will rock the series to its core. Despite several cheeky episode titles ("Booby and the Beast," "Show Me the Money"), Series Two mostly keeps a straight face. Purists may blanche at the liberties taken with this centuries-old legend, (Marian, moonlighting as the vigilante Nightwatchman, demonstrates some wicked martial arts moves). But for anyone who, like the kids in the exciting episode, "Child Hood," spent childhood afternoons dashing about the forest pretending to be the outlaw folk hero, then the Sheriff's departing words in the season finale will make you quiver with anticipation: "This isn't over, Hood." --Donald Liebenson
