Merlin: Season 1

Product Description Like Smallville did for Superman, Merlin is a new drama series that updates the story of the infamous sorcerer of Arthurian legend for a new audience. In a time before history began, the mythical city of Camelot was a fantastical realm and a dangerous world in which magic has been banned by the ruthless tyrant Uther Pendragon. When Merlin, a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers, arrives in the kingdom, he discovers his destiny and that of the kingdom's young leader in waiting,Arthur, are inextricably linked. DVD Features: Audio Commentary Featurette Photo gallery Screen Saver Amazon.com The creators of Merlin position their hero as the original Harry Potter: a headstrong young wizard with mixed feelings about--and sometimes outright hostility toward--the destiny that's been thrust upon him. Merlin is a reboot of Arthurian legend, starting when all the heroes and sorcerous folk were teenagers, bursting with hormones and wrestling with the powers-that-be, particularly Arthur's heavy-handed father, Uther Pendragon (Anthony Head, best known as Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer), a benevolent tyrant who's banished magic from Camelot. Merlin (Colin Morgan, an impish lad with prominent ears) comes to the kingdom with high hopes and innate magical powers. He's taken under the wing of the court physician, Gaius (Richard Wilson, One Foot in the Grave), but additionally becomes the servant of young Arthur (Bradley James), a handsome and talented fighter who's also a bully and a snob. Rounding out the main cast are Morgana (Katie McGrath), who will one day be Merlin's foe but is now Uther's ward, and Gwen (Angel Coulby), a.k.a. Guinevere, the woman who will one day be the center of a legendary love triangle--but who is now Morgana's maid. Clearly, Merlin wants to shake up any preconception about these stuffy old stories, presenting a multi-ethnic Camelot with contemporary language and attitudes. xxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxx xx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx x xxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxxx xxxx x xxxx xx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xx xxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxxxx xx x xxxx xxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxx xx xxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxx xx xx xxx xx xxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxxx xxx xxxxx xx xxxxxxx xxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxx xxx xxxx xx xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxxxxxxx xx xx xxxxxxxxx xxxxx'x xx xxxxxxxxxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxx xxx xxxxx xxxxxxx xx xxx xxxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx
