UPDATE: Much better nudity in episode 3!
Rob, a Saxon outlaw, and Marian, a Norman noblewoman, unite to fight injustice after the Norman conquest; he leads a rebel band while she infiltrates the corrupt court, both striving for justice and peace.
I watched the first two episodes in their entirety, and that alone tells you it’s pretty good, because I don’t have a lot of spare time.
They spent a lot of money and effort to recreate a castle and village, circa 1188 A.D., and the future episodes will include recreations of London as well. The production values are matched by a collection of top character actors. Sure, the story is familiar, but I’m a sucker for anything about Robin Hood, King Arthur or Don Quixote. I naively like to believe that some people fight for honor and right, will stand against power, and care about their fellow man. That belief is especially important in these days when the moral arc of the universe seems to be taking a detour away from justice.
I don’t hold out much hope for good nudity because Lydia Peckham’s character is supposed to be uncontrollably promiscuous, and she has some spirited sex scenes, but they are edited to minimize her exposure.

Have you read THE CRYSTAL CAVE by Mary Stewart or THE ACTS OF KING ARTHUR AND HIS NOBLE KNIGHTS by JOhn Steinbeck?
I hadn’t heard of this show until this week, but it sounds like it could be interesting.
