[Warning: Spoilers for season 5]
Show: Merlin
Network: Syfy
Season 5 Premiere: Friday, January 4, 2013
Where We Left Off: Merlin had killed Agravaine because he found out about Merlin’s magic; Morgana tried to take over Camelot and kill Arthur but she was unsuccessful; and King Arthur married Gwen which was an amazing moment in the season 4 finale.
I had heard a few friends talk about this show. I thought I knew a lot about the Arthurian legend so I figured I wouldn’t find Merlin that interesting. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Not only is it vastly superior to another recent series about this time and place (I’m talking to you, Camelot) but I love that Merlin is the main character. Colin Morgan is such a winning lead. I find him so believable and likable that I almost don’t care how often he manages to get himself (and others) into trouble. If you’re not watching this great show let me convince you.
