The mythical city of Camelot, in a time before history began, is a fantastical realm of legendary beasts and mysterious peoples. In this dangerous world, magic has been banned by the ruthless tyrant, Uther Pendragon. Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers arrives at the gates of Camelot as a young man, sent by his mother to start a new life. Though bright-eyed with wonder, the young sorcerer quickly makes enemies, including the heir to Uther's crown, the headstrong Prince Arthur. <BR><BR><BR>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. And, as he does so, he discovers that his destiny and that of the kingdom's young leader in waiting, Arthur, are inextricably linked.

  • Loved every minute!

    I've only recently discovered this series on Netflix and then found it was being shown on the Sci-fi channel. Loved every minute of it so had a search for the DVD's and found almost all the box sets on ebay! Only series 5 in it's entirety is missing; for some reason it's in 2 separate packages, so I'll have to get it elsewhere. If you want something faithful to the legend, don't watch Merlin. If however you want a highly entertaining, sometimes funny, often heartbreaking 'sword and sorcery' experience, then this is the series for you. For a budget TV show the CGI is pretty good, particularly the Great Dragon who is voiced by the wonderful John Hurt. Colin Morgan is exceptional as a very young Merlin, having to hide the magic he was born with whilst putting up with the ill-mannered, headstrong Prince Arthur. Given the role of manservant by King Uther (the excellent Anthony Head), they eventually form a close bond but magic is outlawed in Camelot so Merlin must find ways to keep Arthur safe whilst not revealing his gifts. Bradley James plays Arthur exactly as you might imagine a privileged teenager would behave, eventually growing up as he becomes king and finally becoming a responsible man. More notable names in the series include Emilia Fox (Silent Witness) as Morgause and Charles Dance as a really scary witch-finder. Richard Wilson (One Foot In The Grave) is perfectly cast as Gaius, Merlin's guardian and mentor. Other well known faces include Pauline Collins, Frank Finlay and Tom Ellis (Lucifer). This series is not short on acting talent! Five series later, the story comes to an end. It would have gone on for another 5 if I'd had my way! The journey it takes you on is breathtaking; if you can suspend belief and let yourself be drawn into Merlin's world, you may never want to leave.
