This action-packed fantasy-drama revisits the saga of King Arthur and his wizard, Merlin, by focusing on the two characters when they were ambitious young men struggling to understand their destinies. In this telling, Prince Arthur is known to be the heir to the throne (no sword from the stone here). And he is acquainted with all those who will one day form the legend of Camelot, including Lancelot, Guinevere, and Morgana. Merlin is also forced to deal with King Uther's Great Purge, which bans all use of magic.

Damain Thompson Daily Telegraph (UK) 10/29/2019
[Merlin] is richly atmospheric, thanks to the presence of some of Britain's finest character actors and a running time of less than an hour, meaning that you don't get tired of the computer-generated special effects. Go to Full Review

Merlin is turning out to be an enjoyable summer series. Go to Full Review

6.1/10
This was still run-of-the-mill Merlin, and proof that, so far at least, the writers aren't planning to deviate into exciting and fresh parts of Camelot anytime soon. Go to Full Review
Robert McLaughlin Den of Geek 10/17/2018
Really, it is quite predictable and that's where my problem with it lies. Go to Full Review

Conrad C @sosopoptart Dec 4 The show gets better in its second season as a plot starts to form. There's still too many episodes that end with everything back to where it started though. Progress is painstakingly slow, but it's there in this season, and reoccurring characters are a welcome sign that things are moving along. The banter between Arthur and Merlin (especially on Merlin's side) makes for all the most enjoyable scenes. See more 01/09/2022 I watched the second season with more awareness. I was more involved and understood better their features. I enjoyed most of it. A great figure was the Dragon Kilgarrah. I heard that John Hurt, the Dragon's voice died. So sad. See more 07/29/2021 People are calling it predictable which frustrates me most. If they watch it all the way through they would be more than extremely surprised. I also saw a rating saying that this show is for adults who are tired of "sex and the f word." *deep breath.* this show is rated PG. It is for all ages. If it had "sex and the f word" I would be highly concerned. This show is for fantasy lovers who don't particularly like all that teenager drama that you see in EVERY SINGLE American tv show. Riverdale, Stranger Things, Outer Banks, and every crime show in the godforsaken universe is so extremely tiring because of all of the romance drama crap. This is centered around a friendship. It is lighthearted, funny, and a show that a family can enjoy together. Enough about the SGI. Who actually cares? Just because a show is on a low budget doesn't mean it's bad. I would actually say it's rather fantastic. Good life lessons, fantastic actors, a good plot, and a captivating setting. This show is one of a kind and I'm getting tired of people who watch 10 minutes into the first episode and say " the sgi is crap" and then leave. See more 02/02/2021 With a better script than the first season, Merlin season 2 is an improvement comparing to the first season, but its poor visual effects and predictable story are still there. See more Francesco A 10/14/2020 Awesome experience. Truly unbeatable. See more 09/18/2020 This series is better than the last with Colin Morgan being hilarious and working well with every character on screen. the Highlights of this series is the Curse of Cornelius Sigan, the Sins of the father being my favourite and the Last Dragonlord being a really emotional episode when Merlin's father dies. I'm glad there's a 2-part episode in this. Unfortunately, there are many dull episodes such as the Nightmare Begins, the Lady of the Lake and the Witch's Quickening. See more Read all reviews
