Merlin NBC TV Series A must watch show!
August 13, 2009
NBC -- "Merlin" is a new drama series that updates the story of the infamous sorcerer of Arthurian legend for a new audience. The mythical city of Camelot, in a time before history began; a fantastical realm of legendary beasts and mysterious people; a dangerous world in which magic has been banned by the ruthless tyrant, Uther Pendragon.
When Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers, arrives in the kingdom, he quickly makes enemies including the heir to Uther's crown, the headstrong Prince Arthur. But guided by Uther's wise physician Gaius, Merlin is soon using his talents not just to survive but also to unlock Camelot's mystical secrets. As he does so he discovers that his destiny and that of the kingdom's young leader in waiting, Arthur, are inextricably linked.
While I was completely skeptical because of how far off it was from any other Merlin legend, as I watched, I felt the show was coming from a very interesting angle and enjoyed the freshness. I am 7 shows in and absolutely LOVE this show. The creatures that make appearances include an all knowing dragon that is willingly imprisoned under the castle, a very angry gryphon and a heart wrenchingly beautiful unicorn.
