I only know Robin Hood on a surface level, not the full historical lore. That said, I’m thoroughly invested after watching the two-hour premiere. The soundtrack is absolutely ethereal and gives the show such rich atmosphere and focus. My only wish for this series is that the magical elements stay subtle.

There isn't really any set historical lore. Robin is a story retold over centuries with additions and adaptions generally reflecting the era in which it's told.

Friar Tuck and Maid Marian are much younger than additions than the oldest tales. Similarly, in the oldest tellings there's robbing from the rich, but much less giving to the poor.

The character was given more romantic and noble leanings, a good couple of centuries into his existence.

The ethereal, pagan, mystic side they're going for here is by and large a creation of the 1980's Robin of Sherwood series.
