The trailer trash version of Robin Hood

I can see that the producers of this show had Hercules and Xena as a reference when they wanted to do the show. But it falls flat when compared to the above mentioned shows. Hercules and Xena was groundbreaking when they appeared in the 90's while this is bad copycat.

The show got a lot of action, humor and good looking women so why is it so bad? Sometimes you got the feeling you're watching Hercules all over again but this time he is dressed as Robin Hood. The plots seems ridiculous. Hercules and Xena had some references to the modern world(our world) but tNAoRH has way too many. The costumes just looks stupid and are not believable as being medieval at all. They look like they have been bought in a cheapo costume store.
