My own review (Merlin 2009 series)

Ok this is a new series i have been enjoying since it came out, its already on season two with a new episode every week on Saturdays around 6-7 (or watch it on BBC iplayer.
I love the whole fantasy/magic theme and really interested in old times about merlin/dragons so this series is perfect because its based in those times. Unlike the Sam Neill's Merlin series which done in 1998, the New 2008/2009 Merlin series with Colin Morgan, is a lot more deeper into the storyline and magic.
Every week you get more knowledge how Merlin started out and how King Arther became to be. Besides the deep plot in the storyline which grabs your attention and gets you addicted to whats going happen next,which i do like, im mainly interested in the special effects for spells in this and how they make realistic looking creatures such as Trolls.

(Old 1998- 2nd favourite of mine)

As you can tell, the 1st was really old looking and more into the history feel too it, while the new one is more modern and interesting.

Anyways its a must watch :) if like special effects and magic/Merlin like, its good storyline too. King Uther banned magic from Camelot kingdom and Merlin has to protect while hiding his magic :).
