Linda Wa I've read many reviews before I finally watched the show and I kind of knew what to prepare for. I must admit, I am a huge fan of Jamie Campbell Bower, the actor, not the underwear Model and I am not a 16 year old Teenage Girl. So knowing that he is in the series, forced me to watch it and I can sense why many people think he is wrong for the role, obviously they have a specific picture in mind of how a King Arthur has to look like, but I think the producers wanted exactly that look for a him. A man, who doesn't look like a typical Warrior or middle-age man, someone who might be underestimated at first sight but who is strong-minded, the more boyish type of man, who will grow out of that impression in time. but the reason why this series didn't work is not only the Cast of the lead role (which is for me, no mistake, I think Jamie is doing a reasonably good job for what the script offers), it is the plot, script itself. I think the storyline is not very consistent, one episode the mood of one person is superdark, suddenly next episode, everything changed, and then all these plots, that were obviously planned to make everything more exciting, like: hey we need to ride back to arthurs old home and get some books for camelot. great idea, the gang rides off, and then... nothing happens. no danger, no... unexpected turn. they find the books, yeah, mission done. and there are more of these poorly written story lines as well. Its just not very catching, everything has been seen before and even a great Eva Green and a even greater Joseph Fiennes cannot rescue the whole thing. What is really brilliant though, is the Character of Merlin. He, played by Joseph Fiennes, is so different from everything you would expect, the series would have been better called Merlin. I couldn't get enough of him, because he is so mysterious. Where did he come from? Whats the deal with this magic? Is he immortal? Merlin give the viewer a lot to think and I wouldn't mind more of him at all. Also, the Costume Design is astonishing, so even if you don't like the story or Jamie Campbell Bower, you get something for the eye by looking at all the great dresses and armors. The Series could have done much better with better story turners and also better dialogs. (what was that conversation Merlin had with the Blade Smith? horrible...), but it's worth watching just because of Merlin.

matt213-574-828984 This series could hardly be worse. The only reason I give it more than 1 star is Eva Green. Arthur is simply atrocious on every level. Bower's Arthur is equivocal to a more campy Zack Morris. Coupled with Merlin's excitement for playing Merlin in every scene and writing suitable for an Uwe Boll film, Camelot is difficult to watch without laughing.Camelot cannot decide whether its a spoof comedy, a kids show with nudity, or a drama. Let me be the first to say that it had better chance at a comedy. Although kid's show with nudity, like Camelot, is a new genre all in itself.

Ivan-Goran Herman It is rather difficult to run into an interesting and well made fantasy show nowadays, especially due to hyper-production regarding knight-and-sorcerer themed shows, but this is certainly one that deserves attention. Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green are great choices for the roles of Merlin and Morgan, respectively, although there is definitely some space for further character development. Green gave the character of Morgan an exact measure of hypocrisy and selfishness as was needed. Fiennes is brilliant as Merlin, knows how to stay mysterious and act as an adviser/father figure to Arthur. The screenplay, in my opinion, is the weakest link of this serial. Too many plot elements revolve around the attempt to have an original approach to the legend itself - the sword, for instance. Murdering his maker by 'accident' and his daughter, also by 'accident', naming the sword after the girl, Merlin's seeming naiveté about their deaths and too little remorse - this is just an example of what I feel is poorly done in the show. Many were skeptical about casting Jamie Campbell Bower for the lead role, but I find it an excellent choice. Peter Mooney would have played a lot more 'classical' Arthur, therefore I salute the producers' boldness an willingness to risk a bit. The supporting characters are great and all in all, I would recommend the show.
