GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

WakenPayne I guess this is an okay watch for your 6-9 year old for a half hour. I mean there isn't anything that I'd consider horrible in this show for them, it's just that for anyone outside that demographic or people who cling onto their childhood nostalgia then this show isn't all that great.The premise for this show is to take the Robin Hood myth and turn it upside down. Maid Marion is now the hero of Sherwood Forest and Robin is so cowardly Scooby Doo would call him a wimp. Then the merry men are also changed around a bit such as Little John actually being little and other such things.So the shows premise... I have to be honest is actually pretty good. It's just the execution is bizarre. Some episodes open with (and I swear to god I am not kidding) a rap number and...they're as bad as you might think. For a fact there are a lot of jokes in this show that are like that, they do something that won't be invented for nearly a millennium.Not to mention the corniness. I know it's a kids show and there is meant to be some level of corniness but the corniness in this show makes The Marvel Superheroes cartoon that ran in the 60's look like the current movies being made today.So the only real appeal for this show for those that didn't grow up with it is seeing what Tony Robinson and Danny John Jules did outside of Blackadder and Red Dwarf. So unless you are one of those people or the people who grew up with this show I can't really see that much appeal. I like the idea but it could have been executed a lot better.

Lexi Wolfe I watched this series religiously when I was a kid, and my mother taped as many episodes as she could. Fast forward about twenty years (yes, believe it or not!) and me and the mister spend hours howling with laughter and wondering why the heck our younger siblings and future kids don't have anything half as good to watch as this. Maid Marian is probably the reason I'm so independent nowadays (and, yeah, bossy too). Despite becoming a biker glove fan myself, I still always associate them with King John. And if I ever meet Tony Robinson, I think I may have to hug him just for creating this series. This series has everything going for it. The actors just throw themselves into their parts like nothing you seem to get nowadays. Whose amazing idea was it to have a laid back Rasta and an overly aggressive Little Person as members of the Merry Band, and make Robin (of Kensington) an absolute wuss?From the brilliant one liners ('They've got the power, they've got the weapons. All we've got is a Raster, a Wally and a Bearded Avocado') to the memorable songs that I join in with though years have passed since I last saw that particular episode (I dare you not to come away from this review not reminiscing over 'Naked To The Visible Eye' and 'P-p-p-p-p-p- pancake Day!'), Maid Marian and her Merry Men is as much an institute of British humour as Blackadder or Monty Python.The wonderful thing is that watching it as an adult, it's actually even funnier for the references that I never got, but still thought were funny as a kid. I have every faith that I'll be watching this again and laughing along with my own children in years to come. I love how real the characters are in it as well, and definitive. There's no 'filler characters' you find in a lot of shows these days.Because of the nature of the show being filmed 'out of its time', despite some of the contemporary references, there are so many generic social and popular culture jokes, that even now it doesn't seem to be as old as it is. Twenty years? Seriously? There's a different and varied plot for each episode, from the gang to getting together, to a talent show for Worksop, to visitors from Outer Space, and each plot is used to great effect. I could go on and on about it, but the best thing to be is to crack out the old VCR player, or get on down eBay and get the complete series.

kaiytlinne This show in my opinion was simply the best that ever was created. It is just so funny! Its absolute genius! The songs crack me up the most, my personal favorite being 'the story of workflop' from 'Voyage to the Bottom of the Forest'. The bit in the middle 'and he and his cohorts will bear down upon you like avenging angels - and you won't like it very much' I'm probably still laughing about it as you read this. And the bit 'while she went out on all night raves' with the witch raving. The only thing is, my friends barely even remember the show. Is there anybody out there who loves it as much as I do? Email me!Rabies: 'ahhh its a giant loaf' Marian: 'no its a giant loafer'Rock on !

eva.bernstein The series was brilliant even in German - as, luckily, they didn't dub the songs. The humour was just funny, as me and all my friends thought - and even my younger brothers loved it! Besides, the series provides explanations for the big questions of mankind - like the invention of snooker... My favourite Robin Hood pictures!
