About this show

Merlin will one day be the greatest wizard that the world will ever know, but for now, he is just a young man, geeky and awkward, who must keep his talent hidden in a kingdom where magic is banned or face certain death. In this ambitious and action-packed drama, the myths, monsters and magic of the legends are revitalized and given a modern twist which sees relationships and friendships develop between the characters in preparation for their inevitable destinies.

Fantastic show for all who love fantasy, medieval, and mythical things. There is some drama, would not recommend for kids under 11, but still amazing and a good show to "start off" with instead of more epic and scary shows such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, etc. It does get more epic with every season, the last two being especially epic, but I recommend this as a starter show for kids 11 and up. A great re-invention of the Legend of King Arthur, and more interesting with Merlin being a young man instead of old.

This is THE BEST television show OF ALL TIME!!! I fell in love with this family-oriented retelling of the great legend that we have all heard as children, and drank in the entire five seasons in less than that of 3-4 weeks. What is the story about? Well, in short, a simple teenager named Merlin who was born with unexplained magical powers travels to see his uncle in a kingdom called Camelot, where magic is forbidden. But he reason WHY he goes to see his uncle, is because, ironically, Gaius (Merlin's mother's brother) is the only one that Merlin's family knows of that knows the inner workings of magic. So, in the care of Gaius, Merlin hones his Magic skills and discovers that it's his destiny to protect a Dollophead-of-a-Prince named Arthur. (Did Arthur HAVE to be such a Clotpole?!) SPOILER ALERT!!! I must say, however, that I did NOT enjoy the conclusion, as it just wasn't satisfying. The creators somehow made me want to see much more, as it felt that they cancelled the show when it was finally getting started. (E.g. Arthur FINALLY finds out that Merlin has unique magical powers.)

I love this show Merlin (Colin Morgan)is the best sorcerer in any movies & t.v shows I ever love, I admire him & I wanted more to see him to any movies or t.v shows as a main character.
