Did anyone else watch it?

I thought it was dire. It was like someone had vaguely heard of some things in mythology and just decided to cram them all together. So many plot holes.

I quite liked Merlin but this absolutely paled in comparison

Typical BBC waste of money. When you compare rubbish like that to some of the US shows it's a bloody embarrassment.

I quite liked it but I was disappointed that the Minotaur was slain with just a quick stab. That should have been a bigger fight. Will continue to watch though.

Lol BBC.

How can BBC make Sherlock then make.. this.

arknor · 28 Sep 2013 at 22:42

bbc make loads of crap though

I dont understand why we churn toss like this out.

Have we not got enough talent in this country to produce shows to the calibre of Sopranos and BB?

FartInferno · 29 Sep 2013 at 07:09

Was hoping this might be like Rome but, given it's timeslot there wasn't much hope.

Dire, considering they managed to get some fairly well known actors in it. A couple of them must be treating it like the I'm a celebrity get me out of here effect.

It was ok I thought, after all its family viewing so you can't expect something of game of thrones quality

Just a bit of undemanding, mildly enjoyable viewing for me.

Luther was amazing and at the moment there is Peaky Blinders which is pretty damn good.

rome was only good because of hbo it had a massive budget bigger than game of thrones reportedly which is why it got compressed into 2 seasons instead of 3

Haven't watched it yet but from the trailer it looks just like the Sinbad one they did last year.

What a load of toss this is, nice to know the licence fee is well spent [not].

SexyGreyFox · 29 Sep 2013 at 13:25

This is not a patch on Merlin, I lasted 20 minutes.

Efour · 30 Sep 2013 at 08:39

I dread to think how bad it will be but ill give it a shot.

looks like James blunt got washed up in Faliraki

Same terrible Formula and characters as The Robin hood one, the King arthur one and every other recent BBC children's dinner time drama in the past 15 years....

Turned off after Hercules was on my tv... was really looking forward to this tho..

Nogimmix · 1 Oct 2013 at 18:03

Bring back Merlin!!

arknor · 1 Oct 2013 at 18:57

merlin was one of the few bbc programs I watch

Scrutinize · 1 Oct 2013 at 19:07

Imo, the early episodes of Merlin were very average iirc.

Will give this a couple of trys but it really doesn't compete with other channels offerings at this time of night.
