Programming note: Our coverage of Merlin is substantial but incomplete.

Merlin (2008-2012) is a BBC fantasy adventure series that re-imagines Arthurian mythology. The series follows the early adventures of Merlin, a young wizard in a kingdom where magic is outlawed, and his relationship with the arrogant but noble Prince Arthur, the once and future king destined to unite the realm. After getting off to a shaky start, Merlin steadily improved with each season to become one of the best fantasy shows around.
