Sherwood

Too much packed into the first episode, with confusing flashbacks to the previous series, which I enjoyed. Trying to sort out who is related to whom, as it all seems to hang on family loyalties. Shall continue watching as there are good actors in it but feel I need to take notes.

I thought it was just me. I was looking forward to this series but I switched off the first episode because I was actually getting irritated by the chopping and changing of scenes, the meaningless snippets of information and most of all the staring into the abyss (a perfect description, Marilla).
I am disappointed as I did enjoy the first series, but I will continue to read the reviews on here and if it picks up I will give it another go.

Gave it about half an hour, but life's too short and there's too much choice out there. I did see the last series but can't remember that much about it and have no desire to trawl through it all over again. Shame! it's got a good cast with the excellent Lesley Manville, just seemed disjointed.

I was looking forward to watching this, but won’t be returning for episode 2. Sullen teenagers, scenes of staring into the abyss and the sound quality was poor.

We will persevere as it took a while with the first series.

I'm sticking with it. I've met the writer when I lived in that neck of the woods. I think there are some interesting characters so I'll stick with it. It may not turn out to be the story you think it is.

Well you really had to concentrate on this, bit confusing as I couldn't completely recall who was who from the last series.
Had to Google the Radio Times where they explained the plot and the characters.

I thought it was a bit to close to the Merseyside Detectives very sad programme about gangs , drugs and shooting involved in the murders of Olivia and Ashley, Also the F word was used a lot which now seems to be the norm now, not sure if I will carry on watching ,

Yes, it was hardly Call The Midwife, or Lark Rise To Candleford was it? Not that I expected it to be.

Must confess I could not really remember much about the first series. Characters kept appearing who I sort of remembered, but the actual back stories escaped me.

It was not a series (the first one) I wanted to re-watch though.

I agree. I will persist, just in case.
