Merlin 2008 S01E01 WS PDTV XviD-RiVER

info:

merlin is 13 episode series for british television. it is based around the
legends of the mythical wizard merlin and his relationship with prince arthur.
produced by independent production company shine limited for bbc one, the
programme is designed to run in the same saturday evening family drama slot as
series such as doctor who and robin hood.
has been purchased by nbc in the us.

it looks alright... i'll give it a chance...

trailer can be found on youtube...

if i might say so, the trailer looks awesome~!

this is not me being snarky; this is me asking an honest question. if i hated
dr. who and robin hood, am i likely to hate this?

whoa! i thought that this wasn't even airing until november.

eta:

oh never mind, apparently they are airing it in the uk first!

it's a good enough show based on the first episode. i would say it\'s more aimed
at harry potter, maybe lotr teen posters rather than adults though. that's not
to say adults wouldn't enjoy it. i did. interesting note for me but not for
most, colin morgan (i.e. merlin) is from northern ireland...

to the poster who asked about the hating dr who and robin hood thing...i would
tend to say yes. maybe you won't but if they're not your cup of tea then this
probably won't. it's more alike to robin hood than either of them.

btw, i don't think it's airing in the us until next year?

well, i've seen worse imo and shows i consider much worse rate very well in the
us so it should do alright, especially with younger audiences (or the young at
heart ;d ).

it's an interesting point of view to the arthurian legends, especially given
that the average person knows how certain relationships will turn out and the
situation presented in the first episode is almost the opposite.

and getting john hurt to voice the great dragon is very good... he's always been
partial to that kinda role.

michelle ryan (bionic woman, jekyll) is credited as nimueh but i don't recall
seeing her - will have to rewatch it, though she may not have appeared in this
episode.

almost forgot (forty lashes for me) anthony head as uther is way cool too!!

anthony head?

i was on the fence, but now i'll check it.

wow, i just finished it, and i really must say it was quite well done. i am
very excited to see the next episode.

i thought it was quite good. almost as good as robin hood from the bbc.

trailer can be viewed here.

thanks for the post,
j.

thank you eztv for considering my request!

yes, sorry to say so

really quite good.

story was tight. great cast. dialogue was sharp and concise, unlike a lot of
fantasy stuff. they didn't try to do too much. that's where a lot of fantasy on
tv goes wrong.

it's simple (in the good way) and charming.

nbc will start airing this mid season in the u.s.
but what are the odds that it'll be uncut? (the answer is slim.)

thanks. i'll definitely be watching this now.

i have to ask why is it so interesting the colin morgan is from n ireland.
