Merlin (2008)
slightly entertaining

After watching Merlin (1998) with Sam Neil over and over, which is also far away from the original story but still one of my favorite TV-movies, the series is quite a disappointment.
It started fairly well, but the longer it goes, the less actually happens. Every single character, except Morgana, which just doesn't add up, hasn't done any progress. Merlin himself refuses to do some growing up, all tough there were plenty of opportunities, and instead chooses to stay the same clumsy fool he was at the beginning.
I'm not judging the series for abusing the Artus tale, because I don't care, but the series itself is just not more than, on the better days, slightly entertaining.
How people can just possible rate this 10/10 is out of my mind.
