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.

I'm still horribly addicted to the show Go to Full Review Adam Markovitz Entertainment Weekly 01/15/2011
B-
The series' tone has gotten a little grim over time, but there's still sudsy fun in its Xena-style fantasy mayhem and the leads' high-camp banter. Go to Full Review Christel Loar PopMatters 10/29/2019
7/10
Sure, some of it is predictable and some of it is juvenile, but it is always fun and entertaining. Go to Full Review Dan Owen What Culture 10/18/2018

Unfortunately, a lot of the good work in "The Tears Of Uther Pendragon" was dragged down by the show's adherence to a formula I'd hoped it had evolved beyond Go to Full Review Ciara Monya TV Equals 10/18/2018

DC V @RT13357976 Apr 13 At this point in the series I can’t tell if the blame is on the director(s), actors, writers or who but it’s become close to unwatchable. Every close up on smug faces is so off putting it’s become the worst waste of time. It’s like no one cares to try anymore. So cringe and hopeless. Whoever approves this garbage, they should be permanently banned from any filmmaking. Forever. See more Conrad C @sosopoptart Jan 26 It's in season three that you start to be glad you stuck around. By the end of the season the strings introduced throughout the whole series are finally being braided into something meaningful. Merlin's banter remains a highlight, and the occasional glimpse of something more serious coming gives you hope that this is not the peak but just a ramp up to even better seasons. See more 01/09/2022 The third season was really amazing. I asked myself how these actor could do so much, including green screen filming, horse riding, various stunts. I enjoyed all the episodes; the episode of the goblin was too hilarious. Stunning acting performance. See more 01/06/2022 Probably the worst season of all of them. See more 07/29/2020 If you want a program like nothing else then this is the one for you. Very well written, beautifully focused/designed & warmly entertaining. Constant character development without it feeling forced - a real breath of fresh air! See more 03/16/2020 The second-best season in my opinion. the eye of the phoenix has to be the best episode since it shows everything about Gwain, Arthur and Merlin. also, the immortal army made the last episodes something that couldn't be forgotten.
