It is as dreadful as you say, Mark.

It's too like <i>Merlin</i> to really draw in the <i>Merlin</i> crowd. As Cris correctly stated above, why not just make another season of <i>Merlin</i>? And they've messed around so much with mythology and history, it's hard to see it truly satisfying the ancient history/mythology buffs. The thing which really pisses me off about the BBC is that they keep making the same old product over and over again. Same teams, same production values, same writers, same sort of look.... they just change the central hero and hope nobody will notice. <i>Strictly Come Dancing</i> followed by <i>Atlantis</i> is not my idea of a top notch night in.Paul Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02927027468227544676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-859619827230229682013-09-30T04:57:01.032-04:002013-09-30T04:57:01.032-04:00Kind of sums up my feelings Mark!

Still, as someone who was fascinated by Greek Mythology as a child I'll definitely stick around for a few more episodes to see how it develops. It's hard to prejudge a whole show based on the pilot... sometimes they do get better! ;o)<br /><br />Comparisons to Merlin: you forgot to mention the spoiled Princess who likes to defy her parents when it suits her! And I'm guessing Medusa will stand in for Gwen? :p Difference here will probably be Medusa goes evil and Ariadne stays good... Swapping Gwen and Morgana's roles!<br /><br /><br />I just find myself wishing (for the umpteenth time) we could have gotten a 6th season of Merlin instead of this! *sigh* There was no need to rush into Camlann so soon, with them so young, and Merlin's secret still in the closet! :o(CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.com
