Merlin - Series 1 - Vol.2 Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

At last!!! We CAN do it!

I was beginning to believe it would never happen ever again. But against all odds, after what seems like an eternity, we - the british television industry - have finally managed to create a bloody good series! Goodbye Doctor Who-the-hell-watches-this-crap?! Move over Torchwood! It's actually time for a good series. Merlin is not only great fun with likeable characters and entertaining stories, it also (most of the time) has really good acting in it, especially from Anthony Head who always seems to deliver well in whatever he does. Yes, it still has the odd low-budget naff bit in it and of course it's still a mile off competeing with the american shows, but it is still british after all. Perfect or not, it's a great fantasy / drama series - the effects are good enough and there's actually some impressive fightscenes (no, I wouldn't have believed it either), the actors are well-cast (the guy who plays Merlin suits the part perfectly) and it manages emotional, touching drama without everyone just screaming their lungs out at each other, which is something quite rare for british television. There are some really memorable moments in the series and the stories and script are top-notch with some surprisingly clever twists and sharp dialogue. I don't know how accurately it follows the old myths and frankly I don't care. Overall, I loved it and very much look forward to it's return. To all who made this show - keep up the long-awaited good work.

Fabulous.....................

Love it, love it, love it..............

Don't know what else to say!!!! fabulous storylines... fabulous young cast of actors... with some older greats.
