    The series' tone has gotten a little grim over time, but there's still sudsy fun in its Xena-style fantasy mayhem (giant scorpions! evil witches!) and the leads' high-camp banter.

    While it's obvious that Merlin is firmly in the "family oriented" department, it never seems to hinder my enjoyment of the show. It'sWhile it's obvious that Merlin is firmly in the "family oriented" department, it never seems to hinder my enjoyment of the show. It's difficult to find a fantasy or sci-fi series these days that doesn't get ripped apart by critics or canceled due to ratings without ever having a fair shake. If you like epic fantasy, dragons, or swords & sorcery, you'll probably find at least a little enjoyment from this show. Good clean fun for the whole family. Full Review »

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Season 3 starts with a bang and then settles down during the middle and then ends with one of the best endings to any season of a show i have ever seen. What happened this season- Morgana is found, Morgana and Morgose make Uther go crazy so Cenred could attack Camelot. A goblin posseses Gaius. Gwaine helps Arthur and Merlin. Merlin sees the future. Arthur frees Gwens brother, Arthur retrieves the trident from the Fisher King. Morgana has a dream when Gwen is the queen of Camelot, Merlin and Arthur fail to retrieve the cup of life. The immortal army attacks Camelot. Morgana is crowned queen for being Uther Pendragons daughter. Merlin destroys the cup of life, the knights of Camelot take bac the kingdom. Overall it was a great season, but season 2 was better. Full Review »
