A very good fantasy show in the king arthur time.

Merlin is a show that first of all needs a bit of patience, and this show is not for everyone, you have to be a little interested in the "age" that this show takes place in order to watch it and enjoy it. Im a big fan of the movie Merlin so when I saw that a (new at that time) tv-show was comming, I had to watch it.

Watching this show with high expectations due to the movie, this show had to fail, but surprisingly it didnt, It tells the story in the other way by doing it with the "young" merlin and arthur, and it is interesting to keep you watching and wanting to see a little more, the show is also good at having you wanting a bit more by ending episodes like many series theese days do.

The cast in this UK series are quite ok, nothing spectacular, but not bad either, it is not an over the top show but it keeps hitting the "high meter" just a little, and enough to I can recommend watching Merlin. In overall this is very entertaining and the ending for this show is quite fine, its deffinently worth giving it a go, at least 5 episodes.

The effects in this show is rather shite in the beginning, here it is only the story itself that kept me going, but as it goes on either the effects gets better or I just got used to it and didnt mind it, cant really tell that. The dragon was however good made.

Could I watch this show again?
No, this isnt one of those shows I would watch again, not because its not good, because it is good but this has many surprises and stuff you wait for to get an answer on, and when thats done and given, well then I dont see a reason to watch it again.

Some might say I should rate the shows, but with the way I do it its pretty hard to rate them, because I only write about shows that I recommend for watching, I dont write about the ones I dont want to see or stopped watching because I thought it was garbage. So by that I wont be rating the shows that I recommend, they are all on the high scale.

In this show we follow the adventures of young Merlin on his path of becomming the legend that he is today. Merlin is just a servant at this time to Prince Arthur (before he became king) and they are in for some adventures both together and alone.

For TV-Shows it is quite alright to check out the trailer, depending on the age of the trailer, as you can easily get fooled and finding a quick recap of the first season of the show, and that would kinda suck.
So when watching trailers for tv-shows, be sure it is one of the first trailers that came out, to ensure there are not too many spoilers, but still informfull enough to give you an idea about the show

I hope you enjoyed reading this, and will consider watching this tv-show, as this is deffinently one of the better tv-shows out there.
