    <shitpost>So this means the Sheriff dies in this version of the story? Because Sean Been (intentional sp) so often seems to die in his films/shows.</shitpost>

      I've been a fan of his since GoldenEye and Lord of the Rings, and I'm just realizing now his name is literally Mr. Bean

    I'm probably recommending this out of my nostalgia, but... If you can stomach a lot of 80s retro jank, check out Robin of Sherwood from 1984-1986.

        Indeed. It has some genuine 80s jankness but also suffers a bit from a Seinfeld effect. Like for instance, the fight coreographies were absolutely wooden at the start but by the end of the series, they had developed a lot of moves that became standard.

        But yeah, even with my considerable nostalgia, it's a bit difficult to watch.
