It's incoherent. It's beautiful. It's weird. It's annoying. It's so stupid. It's really dumb. It's funny. It's just ok. It's a form of psychological torture. It's irresistible. It's agonizing. It's barely watchable. I couldn't look away. I didn't like it. 9/10.

Oh Merlin. Four years since I finished my last re-watch and you're still breaking my heart. You are quite terrible in many ways, with some of the cheesiest special effects I've ever seen on television, and some of the cheesiest writing as well, but your story captured my imagination like no Game of Thrones has done. The friendship/romance between Merlin and Arthur is almost unbearably lovely and the characters of Guinevere and the knights still haven't left my heart. There were moments of absolute brilliance in this little family show elevated by beautiful acting that still resonate and stay with me after all these years. I would go through it all again.
