Introduction to Video Content

Robyn Hoods is a new TV show created by Director X that presents a fresh and diverse take on the classic folktale of Robin Hood. In this modern remake, Robin Hood is portrayed as a strong, independent, bisexual black woman, leading her funky, anti-authoritarian hip-hop group of merry men in a low-rent housing project known as Sherwood Forrest. The show also introduces Prince John as a rich property developer, adding a contemporary twist to the story. This remake aims to address the sins of the past and cater to modern audiences. With its unique and exciting concept, Robyn Hoods promises to be a must-watch for viewers seeking a refreshing spin on a beloved legend.

Subtitles section

Now, most of you probably know the classic English folktale of Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor, protecting the downtrodden people of Nottingham from the tyrannical rule of Prince John and his corrupt sheriff.

It's all good stuff that neatly dovetails with the modern Hollywood worldview that it's morally okay to steal other people's property and forcibly redistribute their wealth however you see fit, as long as your victims are rich people.

Well, at least until the people doing the stealing become rich themselves and inexplicably discover a newfound passion for law, order and so

That nobody else can ever take what they've got.

But let's not think about that too much, because thinking for yourself is dangerous, don't you know.

The very obvious problem with the original version of Robin Hood is that not only was he an aristocratic nobleman, and therefore a member of the ruling class, but he was also part of the worst demographic group of all.

CLEARLY, what we needed was a fresher, less offensive and more diverse take on the character, something that would address the sins of the past and carry us forward into a bright shining future, something more suited to MODERN AUDIENCES Enter Director X,

With his new show on Canadian TV. Ever wondered what it would be like if Robin Hood was a strong, independent, bisexual black woman and her band of merry men were a funky, anti-authoritarian hip-hop group,

And Sherwood Forrest was a low-rent housing project, and Prince John was a rich property developer?

Well, wonder no longer, dear viewer, because it's my absolute honour to present to you Robin Hoods, or Robyn Hoods, surely the ultimate modern remake for modern audiences.

And damn, what a treat it was to watch this one.

The first episode alone was almost more than I could handle.

In fact, I regularly find myself checking my watch and remarking, oh my goodness, I can't believe I've been watching this for 30 minutes already.

It barely feels a second over three hours.

Anyway, the story picks up in the fictional working-class Canadian city of New Nottingham.

Because truly, nothing says gritty urban drama like the land of maple syrup and ice hockey.

Where Robyn and her hip-hop group, The Hood, have broken into a construction site so that they can shoot a music video.

And oh my goodness, check out the funky beats they're dropping here.

We don't do the fleshy, fleshy good or how we live.

But oh no, then the local police arrive to spoil the fun.

I mean, how dare they try to enforce property laws and keep teenagers out of dangerous construction sites.

So Robyn does the sensible thing and tackles one of them into an empty swimming pool, because that's definitely something a hundred pound teenage girl could do, and then they run directly back to their tower block.

Damn, no cop in the world could catch someone this fast.

Now, you might think it would be a bad idea to lead the cops straight back to your home address, but luckily the entire tower block comes out to defend them.

Then the cops retaliate using the most extreme measures at their disposal.

These hood rats want to play?

Get the toys up!

Yup, these delicate, unarmed and highly expensive radio-controlled drones are definitely going to strike fear into the hearts of hardened criminals.

Oh. Anyway, the cops leave and this is where we get to know our gang properly.

There's Robyn herself, who I'm guessing likes to party pretty hard with the boys if you catch my drift.

Fill up the condom jar if you need a re-up.

Classy as fuck.

Apart from Robyn herself, there's Much.

Just Much.

Anyway, Much is fast and smart, but reckless.

How exactly do I know this?

Well, I was able to pick up on some of the subtle hints woven into the screenplay, you see.

She's also a self-taught technology genius, because if there's one thing we need more of in our entertainment, it's teenage girl boss geniuses with Howard Hughes levels of engineering capabilities that they just kind of...learned by themselves.

Rounding out the trio of modern storytelling archetypes is Alan, the unthreatening male sidekick whose blandly cheerful, laid-back and agreeable personality ensures that he'll never be seen as a challenge to Robyn's unquestionable authority over the group.

You just sit back and know your place, Alan.

Oh yeah, and Robyn's old friend Little John shows up on leave from the military to say hi and catch up with her.

So what do you think he chooses to do?

Maybe grab a coffee and have a chat?

Go out for a beer?

Of course not.

He grabs a giant stick and starts hitting her with it.

Oh my goodness, they're doing the thing from the film!

We also get to meet the villain of the show, John Prince.

See what they did there?

You must have a goddamn IQ of 160!

And in a show with so much diversity on display, it's nice to see that a white man gets to make an appearance as a greedy, corrupt, avaricious property tycoon.

What are the odds, eh?

He's also got a thing for ancient treasure, like this charming collection of gold coins in his ivory tower.

Hmm, I wonder if this particular plot point might become relevant later.

Anyway, John plans to demolish the Sherwood housing project to make way for new developments, and naturally the local residents aren't happy about this, so they stage a protest at his headquarters led by Robyn's activist mother.

But John's not about to stand for that kind of shit, so he sends the police to arrest her and oh no, she gets shot and paralysed in the melee.

You know, I wonder what the show could be alluding to with this particular piece of visual symbolism.

Nah, I got nothing.

Anyway, Robyn and her sister want to take them to court, but naturally they don't have enough money to pay the legal fees.

Unless...

But Drinker, you paragon of social justice, I hear you say, surely a one-of-a-kind historical treasure like this would be almost impossible to sell, because the only people who could actually afford it would have to know that it was stolen property and therefore wouldn't be interested in buying it.

Well, you need to silence that bigotry and keep those questions to yourself, mister.

Director X has got this one in hands.

Now ask yourself this.

If you had to infiltrate a heavily guarded building at night, what kind of disguise would you choose to wear to help you blend into the shadows?

Well, if your answer is a glow-in-the-dark neon mask, then congratulations, you've truly ascended to the same intellectual as Robyn and her merry, uh, diverse individuals.

But wouldn't you know it, John Prince and the Sheriff of New Nottingham just so happen to be there for a secret meeting at that precise moment in the middle of the night.

And a fight breaks out, and naturally John and the Sheriff choose to use the most logical and effective weaponry available to billionaire businessmen and law enforcement officers today, medieval swords and spears.

But that's okay, because Robyn has something even better up her sleeve.

You know, it truly is amazing how cleverly this show blends together the old and the new, spinning the classic English legend into a fresh new time, culture and location without ever feeling forced or contrived.

The way it works in subtle, understated social commentary without hammering the audience over the head with it.

The complex cast of characters that never fall into tired and overplayed stereotypes that we've seen a hundred times before in modern productions.

The top quality cinematography and performances, married with compelling and intelligent dialogue, really cements this show as one of the best examples of modern entertainment that I can think of.

And I can absolutely see why it's been such a big hit with audiences.

Truly, Robyn Hood didn't just subvert my expectations, it completely and utterly fryer-tucked them.

And if you let it into your life, it can do the same for you too.

Anyway, that's all I've got for today.

Go away now.
