I Love this show. I know it is a story told a lot both in movies and in series. I have meet many commentaries toward watching the series Merlin instead of Camelot and even though I watched a few episodes it didn't catch my attention in any way near the way Camelot seemed to. So far the only thing that bums me with Camelot is the fact that there wont be made a season 2. So there will only be the 10 episodes of the first season to look at.
Also speaking only visually Camelot reminds me a lot of Rome... also all the plotting, sex and blood is in both series. Just to make sure this is not a child friendly series. I did tell a friend that I found them similar and he went on to try and watch Rome saying he didn't like it.
well back to Camelot... The thing that I believe to be the reason behind me falling so much more for this tale about Arthur over all the others I've seen so far is the human factor. Yeah it doesn't hurt that i like a few of the actors and actresses a lot but that's not where i'm going... It's the characters human factor. Normally when dealing with this tale you have Arthur and Merlin on the good side and Morgan on the bad. But the characters in Camelot isn't solely good nor bad, but a mix of the 2. You do see Arthur as a savior but also as the man he is driven by passion and sometimes right. Merlin isn't just this mighty man with visions and powers he is as scared as any other man. And Morgan well being kinda evil by upbringing she is not devoid from human feelings. More than once you get to see her worry and fear for others. She is not cold as it has been told often before.. she's just human.
