Best movie of this year hands down!

Sick Product of a Sick System

Just perfect...

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The show had a rough start, cheesy at time and the week to week bad guy was silly at times BUT then season two improved and by season 3 it was in full swing and never looked back. Just watch and enjoy. Don't over analyze it, it isn't GOT or Breaking Bad but it's great in its own right.

I know - I know - I'm watching this thing but only because I had to stop watching all dark dramas about serial or other killers who do disgusting things to women. This is a well acted but god awfully written series about Merlin who is described in the series as "the most powerful sorcerer ever" - however he has a very limited knowledge of magic - uses only a small set of his magic tricks and always stands around watching terrible things happen around him to those he cares most about without ever using magic until the last moment when often the damage he could have stopped has already been done. More often than not he himself creates the conflict by exercising not wisdom but rather poor judgment and not heeding his truest advisors. I know it's just a show and I know the characters can't be other than how they are written but what a load of terrible writing. I'm at the end of season 4 and Merlin's character is still written to have him be as dumb inexperienced inept undecided and incompetent as he was in season one. This is just a very badly written show which might have had a longer run if those in charge had actually followed the same character development arks found in Smallville the show that apparently inspired Merlin. Apparently they got off track along the way and opted for cheap writing that show after show repeats the formula of Arthur in trouble because of dark magical forces set against him and Merlin stumbling in to save the day with some accidental magical solution at the very last possible second. Very poorly written. God Awful.

I love this show there are so many twists that I love and is very addicting. I love all the characters but especially Merlin.

Oh Merlin. Four years since I finished my last re-watch and you're still breaking my heart. You are quite terrible in many ways, with some of the cheesiest special effects I've ever seen on television, and some of the cheesiest writing as well, but your story captured my imagination like no Game of Thrones has done. The friendship/romance between Merlin and Arthur is almost unbearably lovely and the characters of Guinevere and the knights still haven't left my heart. There were moments of absolute brilliance in this little family show elevated by beautiful acting that still resonate and stay with me after all these years. I would go through it all again.
