This final episode of the season, as a conclusion to the whole series, is beyond doubt remarkable and breathtaking. It is a story that shows the very true examples of love, friendship and loyalty, which build the foundation of the existence of mankind. The actors give absolutely their best and amaze with their brilliant performances where they show so many feelings that it becomes almost unbearable to watch and crying comes naturally. The appearance of Marian close to the very end of the episode is the final great sparkle of the show which makes us realize how deep and everlasting love can be. The essence of the whole romance between Marian and Robin (which lasted over the entire two first seasons) is captured in one of these final scenes, in a short interaction between both characters. It is just unbelievable that love can be portrayed in such a deep way and within such a short scene.
In addition to this overwhelming and choked up feeling in the scene with Robin and Marian, the entire episode is full of similar moving moments. A comparably touching moment is the final scene with Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne, when the long-lasting enemies become friends. It is just unbelievable that the actors managed to put so much into their performances, and this is one of the main reasons this final episode is 'something worth watching'. In particular, I would like to emphasize the perfect performances of Jonas Armstrong (aka Robin Hood) and Richard Armitage (aka Guy of Gisborne). Their acting as well as the complexity of both characters makes us really enjoy the show and the story. The decision to bring in Marian is the best one made by producers and directors and makes it possible to demonstrate an endurance of Robin's feelings for his one true love.
Overall, in my opinion this concluding chapter of the BBC's Robin Hood is so captivating and so remarkable that it can only be compared to the last episode of the second season. Furthermore, the creative ending of the show is a real treat and shows a very different side of Robin Hood's legend. Hereby, the show presents an exemplary way of renouncing the Happy End, which has not yet been done in other Robin Hood film- adaptations.
I would like to express my everlasting gratitude to the producers, Matthew Evans (the director), the writers and in particular the actors of this great episode. Thank you for this amazing spectacle!
