This action-packed fantasy-drama revisits the saga of King Arthur and his wizard, Merlin, by focusing on the two characters when they were ambitious young men struggling to understand their destinies. In this telling, Prince Arthur is known to be the heir to the throne (no sword from the stone here). And he is acquainted with all those who will one day form the legend of Camelot, including Lancelot, Guinevere, and Morgana. Merlin is also forced to deal with King Uther's Great Purge, which bans all use of magic.

Ben Child Guardian I'm still horribly addicted to the show Oct 17, 2018 Full Review Adam Markovitz Entertainment Weekly The series' tone has gotten a little grim over time, but there's still sudsy fun in its Xena-style fantasy mayhem and the leads' high-camp banter. Rated: B- Jan 15, 2011 Full Review Christel Loar PopMatters Sure, some of it is predictable and some of it is juvenile, but it is always fun and entertaining. Rated: 7/10 Oct 29, 2019 Full Review Dan Owen What Culture Unfortunately, a lot of the good work in "The Tears Of Uther Pendragon" was dragged down by the show's adherence to a formula I'd hoped it had evolved beyond Rated: 2/4 Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Ciara Monya TV Equals Colin Morgan is doing such a good job as Merlin. Oct 18, 2018 Full Review Michael Crider Screen Rant Those hungry for the continuing adventures of the wizard and the would-be king will be delighted, and eager for the next piece of the story - which, trust me, will pay off on the premiere's setup.

Audience Member The third season was really amazing. I asked myself how these actor could do so much, including green screen filming, horse riding, various stunts. I enjoyed all the episodes; the episode of the goblin was too hilarious. Stunning acting performance. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Probably the worst season of all of them. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member If you want a program like nothing else then this is the one for you. Very well written, beautifully focused/designed & warmly entertaining. Constant character development without it feeling forced - a real breath of fresh air! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member The second-best season in my opinion. the eye of the phoenix has to be the best episode since it shows everything about Gwain, Arthur and Merlin. also, the immortal army made the last episodes something that couldn't be forgotten. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Merlin: Season 3 made me an addicted for this show and, even I'm not sure, I think it is because the cast is so charismatic that I don't care how much formulaic is the story, I just want to assure they are fine and survive at the end of each episode, which I know they will be. There are a lot of creativity, even if the end is what we expect always. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This season it's completely different, the story is more personal to the characters. Making a great use of the 'points' of the previously season, and improving the drama. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
