Thieves of the Wood (2018–2020)
3/10
Could have been so much better

If it wasn't for the bad writing and inumerable tropes.

First episode was extremely promising and set the stage really well. Then the believability and historical accuracy went out the window as the pace slowed down.

The setting is great but they ruined it with satanic worship, mud covered righteous poor people vs. cartoonish evil rich people. Any character development in the series was not believable at all.

The writing just got worse and worse. It's as if they immediately ran out of inspiration, enthusiasm and time after the pilot.

Too bad because the setting and costumes were good and it could have been a great Flemish production. Some of the actors were good too.

PS: the real Jan de Lichte was a murdering, stealing scumbag who robbed and killed common people. So no Robin Hood at all.
