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.

Show has really come into its own, it's awesome. It's not gritty and is family friendly (aside from the wounds, fighting, magical explosions and intense scenes regarding betrayal and death), but I feel it sticks to the legends pretty well and has moments that are just incredibly moving.

SEASON 3
not every series can tread on it's familiar grounds and get away with it. But season 3 of merlin does and get's away with it, because it's such a charming show. Despite most episodes being a re-make of season 1and 2, i still enjoyed it alot. The characters are so believeable you can't help but fall in love with them. And in this season,the plot get's thicker and the acting get's better.Definitely a must watch for the **** episodes being a re-make of season 1and 2, i still enjoyed it alot. The characters are so believeable you can't help but fall in love with them. And in this season,the plot get's thicker and the acting get's better.Definitely a must watch for the family.

SEASON 3
While 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.

SEASON 3
What is so disappointing about this series is that we know the Myths of Camelot are an oral tradition spoken from the side of the victor, to describe the patriarchal take-over of matriarchal culture prior to the Roman Empire and this series pays no homage to this at all. It stays within the narrow constructs of men vs women where the men are kings and warlocks and the women are evil witches. There is no balance in story-telling between the old ways of paganism and earth worship with the new ways of patrilineal monarchy. In short, it is genderized and polarized. Unfortunately, it is entertaining enough for young people to watch and have their minds bent toward a 'goodies' and 'badies' version of cultural genocide where the so-called 'goodies' are the perpetrators of violence and warfare.
