I seriously fell in love with this show. First of all, I have a huge crush on Joseph Fiennes. That man is a great actor and can do no wrong in my eyes. His portrayal of Merlin is dark and intense, but he's not without his odd sense of humour. Next is Morgan, who has always been my favourite character in the Arthur legends). I liked the tension between her and Merlin and how they reshaped her into a kind of early feminist. She has incredible depth and is a strong character. Now as a rebuttal to everyone who has said that Arthur is unlikable, naive, or stupid, HE IS A KID! When he came to the throne he was little more than a teenager. Of COURSE he's going to be awkward and unsure of himself, who wasn't at 17? He really evolves over the course of the series into more of an adult and more of the bearing of the king that he WILL be. You can see the King Arthur of legend in the making, which is one of the most intriguing parts of the show. Guinevere I've always thought was an unbearable character, even when I was a child. But I appreciate how they tried to make her a little more self-sufficient. The episodes were all intriguing and I watched them as soon as they came out. It's a shame that this series was killed in the cradle. It had a lot of potential and I can only hope it gets a revival or a movie.
