Merlin is a British television series created by Julian Jones, Jake Michie, Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy and posted since September 20, 2008 on BBC One.
Merlin est une série pour le moins originale dans son traitement de l'histoire Arthurienne (avec Kaamelott bien évidemment
) : Merlin et Arthur dans la même tranche d'âge (il existe des légendes où Merlin est soit plus âgé ou plus jeune qu'Arthur, mais jamais, je pense, on avait envisagé qu'il soit du même âge!), Guenièvre en servante, Uther encore en vie et élevant Arthur en fils légitime, Morgane en pupille du roi, Mordred - sans être le fils d'Arthur - en jeune druide, Lancelot qui ne peut être chevalier puisque non de naissance noble, etc. Je comparais avec Kaamelott plus haut, parce que les modifications à la légende tirent leur essence the same principle: a rewrite of a large modern myth that has already been entitled to so many versions in the past. Why not. I adore!
From a technical standpoint, Merlin is doing rather well: sublime scenery and sometimes worked, other times simple and basic, visual effects (done by The Mill, which have included the effects of Gladiator and Doctor Who) succeeds and sometimes beautiful, sometimes ... Soft Knee (a giant dragon who takes the trouble of moving their lips when speaking rather than to use telepathy? Hmm ...), always elegant costumes ... The game of
actors is fair and successful. We believe in thoroughly. Colin Morgan and Katie McGrath revelations are to me, but it is up to older than the palm. In fact, one of the things that attracts me most about this series is that Anthony Stewart Head (Buffy Gilles in!) Plays an active role in it. Richard Wilson, meanwhile, plays an extremely endearing character (it's been awhile since I had not attached to a character that way!).
Although some episodes are predictable, while others nailed me on the spot (especially in the second season).
We always want to see the next episode. This is a sauce for a family audience, and it takes good.
Merlin is a series I urge all fans of the legend of Camelot, Celtic myths and magic fantastic (or not! Hehe).
