Hey look, there's a new Robin Hood show coming with Sean Bean as the Sheriff!

This slipped under my radar. With King & Conqueror recently, and now this, it looks like the streamers are looking to bring Game of Thrones style TV-making to English mythology.

Cautiously hopeful. Robin Hood stuff is a really mixed bag (though I'm not a Prince of Thieves hater--Alan Rickman makes up for a multitude of sins).

Looks pretty good. I like the Saxon vs Norman element.

I do think Robin and his Merry Men all look a bit too clean for outlaws living in a forest, though.

(IMO the only thing bad about Prince of Thieves is Kevin Costner's American accent.)

I realize that a new Robin Hood movie must be made by every generation in order to keep the Old Ones in their slumber, but did we have to cast underwear models?

Please, let it not be like the Taron Egerton film.

You could have put Rickman in "The Room" and, somehow, he'd have made it good.

EDIT - Anyone taking bets on how long the show runs before they kill off Bean?

Looks about like all the other robin hood I've seen, ok but missing something


Everyone knows Robin Hood reached perfection in 1973.

Turns out all an old English legend needed was some down home American honkey tonk songs to make it a classic.

Sean Bean is a spoiler that the Sheriff dies in the movie.

In the first season though?

Was Robin of Sherwood good, or am I remembering incorrectly?

In the penultimate episode of the first season, just like in GoT.
