(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 12:59 am (UTC)(link)Series two and three were my favourites. It was almost a sitcom in a castle, plus glowing eyes and everyone speaking Welsh when they did magic.And the amazing Anthony Head!
Of course, the second series was when Sir Leon arrived, and I'm a big fan, so I may be biased.
It got darker towards the end, which was okay, but not what I'm into.
Best episode ever: when the King fell in love with a troll.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 01:13 am (UTC)(link)Merlin never developed its full potential except for some astoundingly well crafted episodes in series two, but then it was a family show about really quite dark subject matters. It was a hard balance to put off, and even without being perfect, was interesting and great fun to watch.

(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 01:03 am (UTC)(link)MERLIN IS AMAZING. Colin Morgan is phenomenal, he's just flawless at acting, every character I've seen him play is so convincing, I wouldn't realize he was the same actor if I didn't know his face/voice and see his name in the credits. Bradley James makes an oddly endearing Arthur, considering at times the characters an ass and a bully. Angel Coulby as Gwen is a great choice, her portrayal of Guinevere is the first portrayal that seems convincing in the Arthur/Guinevere/Lancelot triangle, she's very graceful and brings a nice balance to the character. Katie McGrath plays a great Morgana, her story is painful because you really get to love her in the first two seasons. I thought it was cheesy at first but I got hooked. (I actually kept watching for the first few episodes because I found Merlin to be so sassy for a character I normally think of as some stoic old guy handing out wisdom and coaching patience.)

(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 01:14 am (UTC)(link)I will always encourage people to watch Merlin. I watched on a whim and hadn't expected to get so invested... Just keep in mind that it's not without its' flaws. It can be cheesy (esp S1) and the writing/character development fluctuates quite a bit (and some of the things the characters do may drive you crazy). But I love the core actors to pieces and think they're brilliant. But even better (imho) is the fandom. Lots of great fic and a pretty active fandom in various places. People might say otherwise, but I'm always gonna say 'go for it'. :D

(Anonymous) 2014-11-06 03:14 am (UTC)(link)To everybody who responded: Thanks! I'll definitely check it out--I like the fics of every flavor, and this Gwen/Leon pairing is intriguing and I haven't even watched it yet!
