What can I say? This is the best Robin Hood on film, bar none. It combines deft characterization, superb casting and realistic sets and backgrounds which meld with a haunting soundtrack to create a show guaranteed to visit the viewer's daydreams for days afterward. What drew me at first? The fresh way in which it retold the old legends. (Well, that and Michael Praed, I must admit.)
The Merries seem to care about each other, and work as a team. When did Costner's crew ever do that? Everyone developed, even over the course of the pilot episode, even Guy of (BOO!) Gisbourne. If you like your Robin Hoods handsome and mystical, your Marions courageous, and your Merrie Men resourceful, try "Robin Hood..The Legend." (1983-86)
