I don't watch much modern TV series, finding them dull, overly serious, pretentious and lacking any entertaining qualities, but Merlin is a grand exception. A thoroughly exciting BBC series centred around Camelot and its key players -King Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, and Morgana, but executed in a cinematic way, full of action (sword fighting, jousting and plenty of derring-do), tongue-in-cheek humour and pure drama. There's a strong dungeons and dragons feel as the character take on all kinds of creatures, travel to mystic lands and deadly threats.
Great acting from all cast, including the Dragon - John Hurt adds his distinctive voice - and its rare to see such high level of escapism. I enjoyed every season. I seen them more than twice, and was never bored. A gem that is good for the family.
