Some of the things I liked most in this show are the prevalence of good over evil and the value of honor and integrity. Also, the strength of the bonds of good relationships in this show, like those among Robin Hood's team, was beautiful and touching.
The changes in some of the characters over the three seasons were interesting to watch as well. Guy of Gisborne went from being a puppet, to trying to exert himself, to being driven by self-loathing, and then ended his life on the "right side". Some characters stayed consistent throughout their time on the show - like Little John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. Marian's character was greatly missed during the third season. And then there were some characters that were not really believable or likeable, such as Kate - that relationship with Robin just really should not have been. And, the Isabella character didn't develop so nicely - seemed to have flaws in her story lines. The flashback to the childhood and relationship between Robin and Guy were interesting, and was probably mainly used to set Archer up to continue the story. But, it seemed to make sense for the whole series to end after the third season.
It was fitting to join Robin and Marian in the end, though both of their deaths were very sad. Overall, despite some flaws, it was a really good series that was quite enjoyable to watch. They don't seem to make shows like that nowadays anymore.
