Arriving in Camelot to work as the apprentice of the court physician, a young wizard named Merlin has to keep his magical abilities hidden from the tyrannical King, Uther Pendragon. Keeping his powers secret becomes exponentially difficult when he’s assigned as the servant of the King’s arrogant son, Arthur.

While the notion of following a legendary figure in his early years is by no means an original concept, production company Shine has delivered its new interpretation with impeccable set design and, for the most part, some superb special effects. With a plethora of well-known Brit stars lending their talents to these iconic characters, it’s a solid start (this release includes the first six episodes) to a potentially strong series.
