Robyn Hood Review of Season 1 Episode 2 of the Canadian Robin Hood remake by DirectorX. The accidental comedy of this show is the primary entertainment of the show because the plot and the characters certainly aren't. Featuring a gang of criminals fighting off an innocent businessman just trying to improve the city, they avoid justice once more by committing even more crimes, to avoid accountability for the ones they committed last week. If this is the 2nd episode, I don't see how their plot will even last out the remaining weeks, but the quality dropping off a cliff at this point seems certain. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Let me get this straight. Chad offers them a million dollars, scholarship, and the best doctors in the world, and all they have to do is stop breaking into his business/home? Um, how is he the villain???????

Newsflash to the director: Your Robin Hood show is bad, and you should feel bad.

Not only has Prince committed the least amount of crime, but he also offered to give the victim of a police shooting a million dollars. All on top of funding an entire children's wing to a hospital. This show is gloriously bad. 😂

It's fucking hilarious how the main villain of the series. Is a responsible adult, Tries to teach his son to be better, Is clearly the most intelligent character in the show (low bar I know), Has actually established plans to improve the area he wants to buy, He scolded the cop when they shot the mom, he actually plans to BUY Sherwood he's not stealing it.

Still loving that the lawyer explains, "he calls the police on people who break the law" like that makes him evil

I'd rather tell a girl I reviewed the show than to tell a girl that I created it

This episode definitely shows that Director X is pro crime and he thinks the police are morons.

I just noticed the Sheriff has 8 hash marks on her right jacket sleeve. Each hash mark is to represent 5 years in the military or law enforcement which would add to 40 years of service. Impressive considering the actress is 45 years old

You should have replied with, "Trust me, don't tell a girl you DIRECTED one of IMDB's lowest rated shows."

The “would you tell a girl” thing says a lot about the directors mentality. That’s not even high school level thinking. That’s an 8th grade mindset. Don’t tell anyone you like Power Rangers because girls won’t like you. Something happened to that dude and he never got over it. Like some little girl laughed at his Pokémon card collection and he can still hear her laughing

It says a lot about the Director and writers when their big, bad villain is the most sympathetic and moral character in the entire show. Of course, this is all coming from the people that interpreted Robin Hood’s creed as “steal from the rich to give to themselves”; all the while polluting their own community.

In case your curious, here are the crimes that have been committed by our “protagonists” in the first two episodes: loitering, breaking and entering, assault, battery, theft that would be easily consider grand larceny in the US, resisting arrest, obstruction of justice, kidnapping, destruction of public property, hacking, impersonation, and several other crimes I’m sure I forgot. I look forward to the finale where they commit murder.

The director is just mad because the only people willing to watch his shows are the ones capable of monetizing it through scathing reviews

Director X thinking every conversation with a woman is a way to pick them up really explains the ever emptying condom jar in the show.

Would i tell a woman on a first date that i reviewed Robyn Hood? Hell Yeah! I'd even invite her to watch an episode together, and riff on it with me. Having a good laugh on a date is always a positive.

So wait, the lawyer got an "injunction" from the Mayor's office, which allows her to halt an active police investigation by the Sheriff (who doesn't work for the Mayor)? They didn't do a single minute of research, did they? 😂

Crazy how the villain wants to clean up the community while the shameful protagonists want to turn the city into an African slum

Beefing with the actual director and getting paid for it is amazing

What's funny to me is listening to the creator of the show accuse people like us of being 'angry.' Buddy, we're not mad, we're having fun with your show. And I think we're probably the only ones.

This is such a terribly written show, that I sincerely debated with myself about even watching another review. What finally convinced me to watch was Disparu's sacrifice. I couldn't let him do this alone. Someone needs to share this pain. It's okay, bro. You're not alone. We're right here with you. Stay strong.

Law enforcement in this series is either written by people who have never gone outside, or are generated/written by an AI who has only ever been exposed to anti-police stuff on social media.

Knowing the director is very likely watching this video and completely seething is truly amazing.

The thing that has me puzzled most is the whole "Bail" situation. The woman is paralyzed and hospitalized...apparently still on morphine (they mentioned) ; she's clearly not ready or able to go anywhere. She needs to stay in the hospital for treatment. Anyhow the gang stole and sold a Rolls to pay her bail ...so she can remain in the same hospital in the same bed. So nothing was changed by paying the bail. I mean What A Stupid Plot Point!

The amount of dialogue the sheriff spends sucking off the “heroes” is unbelievable. She has nothing but good things to say about them despite them being CRIMINALS who make their community worse.

Director X is the “how do you do fellow kids” meme irl. This show is so insulting 😂 he has no idea how young adults behave. It’s unbelievable.

An important thing to remember about Robin Hood that he was a yeoman; that is, he was upper middle class, and land owner. He made a point of not robbing anyone of equal or lower status than himself, and would only go after nobles when he felt they were abusing their power....usually by robbing their tax collectors. He gave the tax money back to the people because most of them were beneath him and he had a noblesse oblige to look out for them. He did not oppose the system; he had problems with people who were abusing the system. In short, he was nothing like the dirty crooks presented here.

A Robin Hood TV show made by a man who: -doesn't understand the story of Robbin Hood -doesn't understand what makes a rogue character likeable -doesn't understand how the police or the law work -doesn't understand that his outlook on social/political issues is so backwards, he's making the bad guys....follow the rules and the "good guys" doing everything bad...he's even using practically every bad stereotype...IN BAD WAYS...My man made a TV show about black people commiting crimes to the point where they made their own neighborhood too dangerous for their own people to live in, that's either incredibly based, or...me thinks your ideology is a bit backwards. "Eat the rich" - but that isn't what your show is telling me, it's telling me your "heroes" are useless, awful people who should be in jail.. You also can't use the pathetic victimhood mentality in a Robbin Hood story, it just doesn't work, you can't be the victim, steal, rob and assault people...and then still claim to be a victim... This is what happens when activists write TV shows instead of writers.

The girl who plays the main Character Robyn actually is a huge narcissist and thinks the world revolves around her they had a difficult time filming because of how obnoxious she was

The problem I have with this show, and I've mentioned it in a few different comments, is that it misses that Robin Hood exists in a very specific context. Among other things one has to remember is that the key to the whole story is that Robin Hood isn't even a criminal. See, the entire legend goes back to the ideas that lead to someone being called "noble" being a positive thing. Robin Hood was a noble, Robin Of Loxley, who went to fight in The Crusades overseas, who returned to find England largely usurped due to bloodlines and politics by a prince with primary loyalties to France who has a long history of animosity with England. This was possible because King Richard The Lionheart was being held prisoner by the Muslims (loosely based on reality). Prince John has put a bunch of Norman (French) Nobles into power, and is oppressing the Saxons (English) by forcing unreasonable taxes on them, part of which he pockets, and even more of which he is sending to the French crown, meaning he's literally taxing them in the name of a foreign power with a history of animosity. When Robin returns and objects, Prince John declares him an outlaw, but being a noble in the idealistic sense he refuses to be imprisoned and starts doing things like robbing tax collectors and returning the money to the people. This is why "The Sheriff Of Nottingham" is a major villain of the narrative, as he was the local tax collector. He wasn't acting out of socialist principle, and arguably was in the right because this was his land, and he was defending his people, according to his oath. This is why when King Richard returns he boots Prince John and simply returns Robin's land and titles to him, declaring him a hero (in many versions). The problem with Robyn Hood is that Director X probably just heard "he's a guy who robs from the rich and gives to the poor" so decides to make some kind of racial social justice thing where black criminality is supposed to be justified by them not having money and targeting rich people. He tries to insert some vague metaphor about gentrification, but shows he doesn't understand the issues as his alleged heroes actually represent the entire problem that justify it, and that has nothing to do with skin color by the way. Robocop has a pretty nuanced take on that for the campy and sometimes comedic work it was, and actually showed all sides of the issue, while still painting OCP as the bad guys. This is because Edward Neumeier Michael Miner who wrote it actually understood what he was talking about, in addition to having a framing device that was entertaining to explore those issues. By having Robocop originally conditioned to follow the orders of OCP, he does a good job of showing what the situation looks like from their perspective, even if they are obviously going way too far in doing things like making the problems even worse to justify increasingly extreme actions. OCP was a good bad guy for the type of movies (and other material) these were, as their motives actually made sense, and you could even understand how as bad as many of them were they could justify even their own greed in a sort of "greater good" sense as they felt they would ultimately benefit people by making Detroit better in the end. This is way too long again, but this is pretty much why they shouldn't be giving a music video director gigs on TV and movies like this, they keep failing for a reason. The most humiliating part of this is that DirectorX is mostly famous for the music stuff, and there is no excuse for why the hip hop bits are the most cringe worthy part, as even by the intended standards that is just terrible. That's supposed to be his thing, and if nothing else we should be saying "well the show is terrible, but it had a catchy sound track" and well, clearly that isn't happening. If nothing else the producers over him should notice this and give him the boot, and to be honest at this point I wouldn't even trust him to do videos anymore.

It's a Young Adult show dude, don't judge it on artistic merit just let Director X indoctrinate the youth in peace!

It’s a shame the director seems to think that labelling a show as 'young adult' is somehow a pass for making garbage.

You know what, I’ve honestly enjoyed this entire exercise so far because it’s actually encouraged me to dig into the English legend of Robin Hood, the historical biography of King John and brush up on my 20 year old remembrance of the Magna Carta. I’m loving this! God bless Director X 🤣

I do so love the delicious irony, in that trying to create a villain to inspire hate, "Director X" has accidentally crafted the best written heroic character in the whole show.

What wrong with giving one star to a terrible YA tv show? So young adults don't deserve good television? That's the excuse they use for bad kids shows and now we're using it for adult shows too? 🤦🏽‍♀️

Robyn Hood Episode 2 is the embodiment of the writers strike, "Here let me give you all your demands, you were right about everything, just please stop protesting" "How dare you give me everything I asked for, you're not taking this seriously, I hate you, you're not my real dad!"

Gotta love how the director of this show believes that a County Sheriff department will blaze through a block of flats, smashing things like the FBI looking for dirt on their political opponents..

"...fill up the condom jar..." A mother telling her daughter such, wow.

I believe the proper response to his second comment would be: "Trust me, dont tell a girl you DIRECTED a 1 ⭐ young adult show"

First time I'm noticing a mistake of Disparu: There is a higher chance of being targeted if you are a takeaway delivery person. They almost always carry cash on them, they are usually defenseless, and they are mostly alone, and you can make them come to where you plan to commit the crime. People order takeaways to random locations, wait for the takeaway delivery person to arrive, then just either grab the food and run away, or also take their phone and their money.

I used to be active in a lot of writing communities, and while many people were toxic elitists a common sentiment about writing was made quite frequently: Anyone can write, but everyone has their own skill level. It's easy for a skilled, intelligent writer to write a stupid character who is entertaining, because they have talent and skill, and it's easy to turn your brain down a bit. An unintelligent writer, however, cannot write an intelligent character. It's a frame of reference they are not able to put themselves in, because it requires them to put themselves into a frame of reference they are unable to enter. They will always write a smart character poorly, because they are unable to understand what makes them smart. Because of this, writers need to play to their strengths, and know when to limit themselves. I see this more and more often with media. Writers and directors do not know how to write anything outside of a very narrow, biased scope that they produce the most obnoxious, poorly written characters because they simply put do not know how to write anyone that is not themselves. We've entered an age where shitty fanfic writers write shitty fanfic level media, and are confused when they get the same response as their shitty fanfic did because they had some big budget behind it.

this would be the 2nd most embarrassing thing Canada has done lately, if they had not given an actual SS Waffen Nazi a standing ovation. Director X is a close second.

I've seen pictures of Kira Guloien, the redhead playing the sheriff of Nottingham. She's an absolute beauty. In a just universe, she'd be Maid Marian in a real Robin Hood series.

In the last two years, we got: She hulk Rings of power Witcher blood origin Willow Velma Secret invasion Ahsoka Robyn hood What’s the worst out of them?

“They think they have beaten me, but I’m just getting started.” How is this threatening when all we’ve seen the Sheriff do is fail. If she was actually successful in something that’s be actually “scary”. Like she had little to no control over her men, even when she did something terrible it was completely unintentional. Like she didn’t even cover for her cop that shot Robyn’s mom nor did she have any scene telling her men to just sack Sherwood and spare no people of violence. Like nothing intentional is done by the sheriff to reinforce the need to take her seriously.

This show was written by a person who could be outsmarted by a glass of water.

That loser can’t admit he made a bad show.

He calls himself "Director X" and wants to be taken seriously. I can't stop laughing

They make it very clear they are willing enthusiastic criminals, yet they show implies that the police harass them for no reason. Can’t have it both ways.

This is how these people see theft. It's okay as long as you say you're doing it for food. There are several morally good things you can do. None of them start with "stealing."

Throughout the entire review I just couldn't get over the incredibly stupid thing the director said. Who in the hell uses how they rate movies or tv shows as an ice breaker to anyone, let alone a potential romantic partner?! How desperate is he to attack his critics that this is the best connection his crippled brain could come up with? At this point I wish Az would do an interview with him, just to get him to explain this to us. I have to know, it's hurting my brain thinking about it and I just can't move on from this.

As a Canadian, I can only say a really huge sorry to the world for this. On the other hand, as someone who currently lives in Berlin though, I can easily say thay this show is a steaming pile of dog crap. Disparu, you are doing God's work by ripping into this one for all the world to see. It's also entertaining af 😂

*Over a decade ago I read a poem by the infamous serial killer BTK/Dennis Rader entitled “Ana, why did you appear?” Which was about a woman whose home Rader broke in to and hid inside her closet for like 20 hours to murder her when she came home, she happened to see that someone had tampered with her window and wisely went to her parents home and saved her own life. But ever since I read that grotesque shit and it’s backstory, now anytime I hear some shit go bump on the night, I grab my AR and sweep my house, closets and all, to make sure some psycho-sexual sadist isn’t waiting to bind torture and kill me. I do a more thorough search of my home out of blind paranoia than the police do for violent criminals in this trash-ass show.*

"Peep this." "Mad flow." Hahha the language in this show sounds like it was written by the classic "this is what the youth say nowadays right?"

0:04 Oh we're not angry dear director. We are rolling on the floor laughing our ever loving butts off. Can't wait for more comedy from ya.

I am surprised that the villain doesn't do... ANY of the typical rich guy stuff in order to get his way. For example maybe instead of calling the police, which he had every right to do, maybe he instead sues the mother with a spurious lawsuit to gum her up for an indefinite period of time.

The trashbag throw onto the police officer killed me. Yep, surely it was heavy enough to make the officer fall over, while it was easy for her to pick up aaannnnd the garbag back clearly could contain such a heavy weight without tearing through! Hilarious

After all that has happened, there is no way that woman would turn down $1 million for a shitty council drug den.

The director of this show looks like the kinda guy who'd be a background gag character on The Boondocks. Even acts like one too.

Random dudes on 4Chan can find a flag within 24 hours using nothing but tracked flights, nearby sounds, and Shia Labouff's instagram post. You mean to tell me this ultra wealthy billionaire can't find the location of a stolen car when the music video even says the town?

In the States we say "Don't shit where you eat.", meaning one should not ruin/bring or make trouble in their own neighborhood!

So like my biggest question was the condom cookie jar in use before she had children? Because if so the father might have a reason to leave when he kept finding it empty. Look show we need answers.

"Angry fans" What fans is he even referring to? I wasn't aware there was a huge community of Robin Hood fans. You know, outside the animated Disney one...

I hope beyond hope that this show gets a second season because these videos are genuinely hilarious and there needs to be more

I for one appreciate the people who loved this show that they signed up to IMDB just to leave a 10* review, despite not talking about any specifics about it, or having any other activity before or after.

I wont let anyone talk trash about this show. Its the greatest comedy of the past 5 years.

"I feel sorry for him, HE CAN'T BREATHE!" I had to pause for a laugh break! I knew this show was going to be awesome through the Disparu lens

Great life advice from Director X, “lie to your future lover about your profession”. With friends like that who needs enemies? 🤣 Keep it up Disparu, you are so much more entertaining than the shows you review!

"My body is a temple.....you know, one of those dark and cursed ones, where lovecraftian monsters sleep."

shows reason for why you should hate John: He presses charges against people who tresspass on his property. He tells his soon not to bring random women into where he have priceless artifacts. He was angry his property was stolen. He told his son: He got one more key to the house or else he is locked out. Robyn and the hood's Crimes: Breaking and entering. Assaulting police... Like a lot. Impersonating public service personel. Assault with a deadly weapon, spears, swords, bows, trying to ram police with drones. Aggravated assault. Burglary. Grand theft. Pickpocketing. Obstruction of justice, not only trying to pull police away from their mother, but also falsify evidence. Destruction of property.

I feel like this show is pure gold for Disparu. It's full of comedic irony. The main cast are a rule of three of awful: #1 stupid. #2 criminal. #3 degenerate. Usually ONE of those is enough to make a character dislikeable. This is basically MILF Manor's action-adventure equivalent.

Honestly, I love that this has come out.... it makes the Robin Hood story I wrote *at 14* look like a masterpiece- maybe I _should_ publish it, after all...

Everytime they say "Prince" I keep thinking they mean the purple rain one.. It's hilarious 😂

You can't get an injunction against the police. No judge in their right mind would consider signing off on that. Even if you could, it would do nothing to prevent the police from investigating the crime. These people have the legal understanding of a five year old that watches too many cop shows.

"Not Malcolm X" is an excellent argument for defunding all mainstream media in Canada. Enough is enough.

I admire the intellectual quality of this show. The well thoughtout storylines as well as virtuoso craftmenship in thier execution truely are works of geniusses. Never has entertainment been better. The absolute peak of an artform. Bravo I say. Bravo to the max!

A modern retelling of the Robin Hood story is actually a great idea, but I'm guessing the X in Director X stands for the eXclusion of talent.

These reviews coupled with the director joining the fray has made this show some of the most unintentionally entertaining television in a long time.

Thank the lord. I was getting worried Disparu wasn't going to continue Robyn Hood

The only reason one person would sleep on top of the covers while the other was beneath, would be the fear of a major league Dutch oven? Maybe she trapped him once before in her dutch oven and he’ll never chance it again? He may have even taken some brain damage. We all know how deadly they can be.

‘The media works for them!’ -from a show perpetuating the same messages as every other show

When he said, "If you bring one more peasant into my penthouse, I will throw her off the balcony myself." I immediately replied with, yes, do it! Just like Edward Longshanks in Braveheart, lol

This show feels like a parody project of a bunch of stoned high schoolers

The biggest crime here is the lack of Australian flag in the Rec room. So much for the Commonwealth.

So we now have a police officer who has been assaulted, when debriefed will say he was snuck up on from behind. As nobody saw anyone enter or exit the building, or climb it (and nobody knows about the spacious and well-lit tunnel system), will conclude that the criminals live in the tower block. Which, of course, they already knew from the "scrubbed clean" video of them saying Sherwood was their home. Watch out, Professor Moriarty has got some competition here!

If he considers what nerds have to say about things he's really showing his strength and style of idea in adapting the story of a damn English Noble rebelling against a corrupt Prince and saving his people and getting the girl. God damn, it just hurts so much to compare the two.

30:21 I love how hacking in movies and tv has become so absurd that we don't even bother showing them using keyboards anymore. I don't care that he has implants; this is just techno-wizardry now. 😂

"and that tower block isn't know for it's Miles Per Hour!". Man that made me bust up!😂

This "director" has clearly never seen what police do when they raid a building

It's not the messy cabling in the server room that's the problem - that actually looked better than some I've seen in real life - its the fact that there should be the DEAFENING SOUND of air conditioning to stop the servers from overheating and shutting down and the light ropes 😂😂😂

Directorx is doing as much for stereotypes as johnny somali. Well done

I was thinking about this show today, and realized "Robin Hood" worked because it is the story of a gentleman - or at least a yeoman. He was a law abiding and productive member of society. He was a talented archer and swordsman, and in some legends he served his time in the Crusades. He was NOT a criminal to begin with. He had a deep and abiding respect and loyalty to King Richard, and was fighting the "unjust" rule of King John, Richard's brother. He was FORCED into the life of the outlaw, but never lost his bearings. He did NOT embrace the "thug life." That's why this "retelling" doesn't work. Robyn is neither noble, educated, nor productive. Her loyalty is questionable, her goal is "vengeance" at this point, and her nemesis is FOLLOWING the law as far as we know. I know there are rumors John Prince is dirty, but they have done nothing to SHOW us he is any more than a blustering businessman who uses threats and "the law" to get his way - even with his own children. We don't have an educated, virtuous character forced into a life of crime by circumstances around her. We have a narcissistic petty thug who is fighting "the system" which is providing support for her and her family as long as she obeys the rules. It's NOT a heroic struggle - it's petty crime that moves on to major crimes.

That SQUAWKWAFINA bit - DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN!

Looked up Director “X” and his previous projects. Does he walk up to girls and let them know he directed several R. Kelly videos??

Let's be honest, the target audience wouldn't be able to relate if the main characters were wrongfully accused.

I watched your rings of power reviews and loved your humour, actually watched the series because of your reviews(prefer your videos) watching your channel has made me aware of series I wouldn't usually look for, the director should be happy you're bringing attention to his show - your channel is where I learned it existed😂

It must infuriate the showrunners that these videos talking shit about the show are so much better, more entertaining, and far more funny than the show they made

*sigh* watching the "cops" do that "raid" was actually painful. The director does know that cops can't just walk in and start breaking other peoples property right? Yes they might have the right to seize objects involving any investigations but any cop would lose their job for doing that especially if the government watchdog gets involved whoever that might be in Canada. These aren't the acts of cops but criminals even in the original tale of Robin hood the ordinary soldiers working under the sheriff weren't like this. Sure some of them weren't the nicest of people but they didn't go round just harassing people constantly. Great way to make the populace/city turn against you or other lords and ladies getting involved.

I'm fucking howling at the fact that as far as I can tell not a single one of these Robbin Hood-lums have a present father in their life and the ONE DAD WE ACTUALLY SEE FRONT AND CENTER IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE VILLAIN 😂😂 Guess Director X got some daddy issues

this has been my first time hearing about this show and my god how can they get the roles so reversed? the bad guys are the good ones and the good guys aren't even close
