Yet, it still hangs together well, and has genuine on screen chemistry, particularly between Merlin and Arthur (both perfectly cast).<br /><br />The series is easy on the eye (despite the repeated use of certain locations), and has a genuine warmth that the other BBC behomoth (Dr Who) now lacks.<br /><br />This series has been the best, as you say, it is the darker moments that make it. Am I wrong in thinking that this show probably has the highest on-screen death count of any to go out at this time ? It doesn't shy away from from death - that's for sure.<br /><br />My main criticisms are that the Dragon is used almost as a Dr Who's screwdriver to resolve plots, and that despite 4 series now, Katie McGrath cannot act, she uses the same two expressions throughout - shock and sneering.<br /><br />The are quibbles though, the series as a whole, has been great.Wyvernwoodnoreply@blogger.com
