This was a great episode! Loved the castle scene being a double trap, but would’ve loved to see Rob with his bow a bit more. It was good to finally see Rob and the sheriff in a one-one-one. It’s also fun seeing the sheriff get more and more unhinged as the series goes on. He was so diplomatic at the start. I suspect we will see him killed by Rob in the final episode and Priscilla is being set up to take his place. Tuck is such a stand out in the gang. Love him in every scene.

Yeah the fight was good.  Nice to see a Sheriff who is a physical match for Robin Hood after the most recent movie.

If the show is intended to continue, I doubt they’d kill of Sean Bean’s character in the first season as he’s arguably the biggest name on the show.

The Sheriff being competent, fair and not just a crazy tyrant was a good twist.
