And his band of dark Merry Men...

Television has finally gotten it right. One of my favorite BBC America shows from the US has started its second season simultaneously in Australia. What I'm talking about is Robin Hood. And how good it was to see Robin, Sir Guy, and the Sheriff back again in Episode 1 of Season 2 this past weekend. An episode which promises that the season will be darker and even more bizarre than the first.

To which anyone who saw the scene with Sir Guy and Allan A Dale in the dungeon will attest. HELLO!

But not only Robin Hood, but also Torchwood has emerged with darker plots and less fluff than last season. It's like the writers of both these shows all woke up with constipation and a bad hangover. Knowaddamean?

Even so, for this farmer, it certainly gets me off the porch and into the TV room!
