kazdines I thoroughly enjoyed this, and was saddened that it lasted so few episodes. i agree that in comparison to so many similar options at the time it was lacking. I felt on its own it stood up to its expectations. With a cast including Green and Fiennes, I loved it. And felt Arthurs character was well cast, to see his progression from the unexpected. In all this is only my opinion. enjoy or don't enjoy.

unbrokenmetal 'Camelot' was not bad, at least I managed to sit through all 10 episodes. However, I wouldn't say it was a series with potential. The cliffhanger ending indicates clearly that a season 2 was planned, but never made. 'Camelot' obviously did not succeed, arguably due to a lack of understanding why 'Game of Thrones' was successful at the same time. The comparison seems inevitable because the outline of both reads similar: a struggle for power after the old king was murdered, bastard children, different religions and magic at work in a barbarian age with new wars breaking out every Wednesday. 'Camelot' even clumsily attempted to add a few sex scenes to be more like HBO productions, I guess. But the recipe for success is not about the sex and violence.'Camelot' has a very simple structure of good king vs his evil sister and their respective allies. Merlin (Joseph Fiennes) is the most interesting character because he has at least a dark side when he steals the sword for his king from a girl's cold dead hands. But Arthur (Jamie Campbell Bower) remains imbecile throughout the series, often doing something stupid to appear reckless, but mostly appearing... well, blond. Guinevere (Tamsin Egerton) is so sweet your teeth hurt. Morgan (Eva Green) and Igraine (Claire Forlani) are played by very good actresses, but they are limited with these characters. 'Game of Thrones' didn't have the dividing line between good and evil characters. A murderer could become a good guy, a dwarf a hero or a good king a fanatic butcher, you never knew which directions they would take, and all characters were capable to do good AND evil things. 'Camelot' holds little surprise though, follows a predictable path and remains a cartoon image without depth. Voted 5/10.

ingusku Yes, we've heard that story for the dozen times, and yes, we love that story. It's telling us about the times of knights, magic, love and honor, who wouldn't? But please be careful in telling that us again and again, as we, audience, are not the fools.After all the stories we've heard, the movies we've seen and the tales we've imagined we became selective ones. If you have to tell us something new – please do it, if you can tell us same story in undiscovered point of view, we will be your audience, but if not, we are sorry for you; because of these ages of storytelling.What can I find new in these series? In fact, nothing, maybe one fact, that Guinevere was the fiancé of Leone, not Lancelot. Did I see spectacular work of the actors? Not actually, despite Joseph Fienes, sometimes it looks like he is enjoying his role and looking for someone who can maintain the story, sadly there are no more characters who can handle charms of the Merlin.Arthur looks like a boy, who cannot carry the sword in his arms and I truly do not understand why he is pictured as a favorite for a girls. He has no strength in his as well as I cannot find any charms of this character. Morgan is not as bad and unpleasant as you would expect. In fact, during the story you do not really care about any of them, despite, the Merlin. As I mentioned before, it is only one, live and truly charming character from all the mentioned and not above.I cannot stop myself from comparing these series to Merlin. The strong duo we could see in these ones is totally missed in Camelot, as well as interest of the lives of secondary's characters.I wouldn't recommend watching Camelot, as a really good series; unless you are fan of Joseph, as he is the only one in here to admit of doing great job. Of course, I did it, because of my curiosity of storytelling from different point of view. I did it to my disappointment.

stefanrdam I have to give it a ten, just because off all the people claiming that the story line is wrong and the main character does not fit fore this role. This are all personal opinions, and they cannot be the reason for a low appreciation of this show.People must admit that no one on earth can exactly tell how the Arthurian legend must be told. There are many possibility's. But just because of the fact that this show is not matching the expectations of people, and the average way this show was build in the past, it gets a low score, which is absolutely not fair to the creators of it. They made a fantastic version.Be honest people .. This show is excellent .. Be open, and see.
