Robin becomes more of a sweetheart as the show goes on - but I'm pleased with the way he hasn't been *totally* idealised, as he has in every other version I've seen. I think Jonas has done a fantastic job because he is aware of Robin's flaws, and he communicates them very well to the audience.
Oh, Marian. It took me a long time to like her, but the minute that I accepted she was a Mary-Sue, the whole thing was a lot more fun. :)
We never get to see enough of Will and Djaq, I think. But the glimpses we do see make them fascinating characters that should have been explored, if the writers weren't so obsessed with pushing Robin/Marian and Save-King-Richard.
This show is totally campy, but it makes me so happy because it is generally angst free - IDK. I've had enough of shows like Supernatural that lay emotion on very strongly. And this doesn't really push any kind of ethical/ I think I'm just totally biased towards British entertainment.
If you like this kind of crazy!entertainment you should try Merlin. It doesn't even really try to be serious at all. The first two or so episodes are a bit pathetic, but it gets much, MUCH better.
