I sort of had to leave all my knowledge of Arthurian legends at the door when I first watched this series. But then after awhile it became sort of a fun AU of stories I loved as a kid.
Definitely the series improves as the episodes move forward. The last four were probably my favorite. I'm not sure if Merlin ever gets more mischievous, but I give props to Colin Morgan in just the fact that as the episodes went on, it really started to dawn on me how much responsibility in general was getting heaped on him.
