I've been making use of long hours of sitting in a hotel to catch up on TV viewing.

Specifically, the shows, US created 'Heroes' and Robin Hood from the BBC.

I find it interesting that the two shows are diametric examples to the usuall stereotype of 'American' and 'English' dramas.

Heroes consists of complex and multi-layered story arcs while Robin Hood is made of simple and one dimensional tales.

I like Robin Hood, but the BBC with all its resources could had done so much more with such a rich and powerfull mythos.
