Today I would like to talk about a TV series called at Merlin which I absolutely adore. It is a captivating fantasy drama that reimagines the legends of King Arthur, specifically focusing on the early years of Merlin and Arthur’s friendship. I often watch it and it’s a very popular, very hit drama in our country. I enjoy it whenever I watch this drama. The show is set in the mythical kingdom of Camelot during a time when magic is outplayed by King Arthur Pendragon. The main characters are Merlin played brilliantly by Colleen Morgan and Prince Arthur. Merlin is a young soccer player who arrives in Camelot with a destiny to protect Arthur and help him become the legend-racking he is meant to be. However, he must keep his magical abilities as a secret, you really grow to care for them and their relationship will feel authentic and complex. In a sense, it’s a show I can watch repeatedly and still discover new layers and appreciate its storytelling.
