If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Robin Hood is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Wonder Project Amazon Channel right now. Every one of its 3 seasons holds up. With 132 viewer ratings on TMDB, this is not a title flying under the radar. Jonas Armstrong is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Robin Hood is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. Sharp writing and a well-matched ensemble are what separate Robin Hood from the crowd. Robin of Loxley returns to England after 5 years of fighting in the crusades alongside King Richard. After losing his estates and being branded an outlaw, he takes on the title of Robin Hood and assembles a ragtag band of outlaw companions. Together they steal from the rich and give to the poor - all the while avoiding and outwitting their enemies Sir Guy of Gisborne and the evil Sheriff of Nottingham. Between them, Jonas Armstrong and Keith Allen carry the comedy without ever forcing it. It ran for 3 seasons (2006–2009), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Robin Hood holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Robin Hood is a strong candidate. Fans of Robin of Sherwood will recognise the sensibility here immediately. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Jonas Armstrong's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Robin Hood was cancelled in 2009, created by Dominic Minghella and Foz Allan — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
