Fantastic show for all who love fantasy, medieval, and mythical things. There is some drama, would not recommend for kids under 11, but still amazing and a good show to "start off" with instead of more epic and scary shows such as Doctor Who, Sherlock, etc. It does get more epic with every season, the last two being especially epic, but I recommend this as a starter show for kids 11 and up. A great re-invention of the Legend of King Arthur, and more interesting with Merlin being a young man instead of old.

This is THE BEST television show OF ALL TIME!!! I fell in love with this
family-oriented retelling of the great legend that we have all heard as
children, and drank in the entire five seasons in less than that of 3-4
weeks. What is the story about? Well, in short, a simple teenager named
Merlin who was born with unexplained magical powers travels to see his
uncle in a kingdom called Camelot, where magic is forbidden. But he reason
WHY he goes to see his uncle, is because, ironically, Gaius (Merlin's
mother's brother) is the only one that Merlin's family knows of that knows
the inner workings of magic. So, in the care of Gaius, Merlin hones his
Magic skills and discovers that it's his destiny to protect a
Dollophead-of-a-Prince named Arthur. (Did Arthur HAVE to be such a
Clotpole?!) SPOILER ALERT!!! I must say, however, that I did NOT enjoy the
conclusion, as it just wasn't satisfying. The creators somehow made me want
to see much more, as it felt that they cancelled the show when it was
finally getting started. (E.g. Arthur FINALLY finds out that Merlin has
unique magical powers.)

I love this show Merlin (Colin Morgan)is the best sorcerer in any movies & t.v shows I ever love, I admire him & I wanted more to see him to any movies or t.v shows as a main character. I have hope that Merlin has a season 6 please continue this show,so many would love to watch this. I am from the Philippines number 1 fan of Merlin and Arthur. Please make an effort to continue this I'm begging you. Let my young warlock back in the show.
