This is a great mini-series with an excellent cast, including Arthur. I don't understand the number of negative reviews of Jamie Campbell Bower as Arthur. This take on the story of Camelot is not designed to show Arthur at the peak of his life - it's intended to show how Arthur came to the throne and what he was like as a very young man. Bower does that very well, and over the course of all ten episodes capably shows Arthur's growth, acceptance of the throne and all of the implications that come with it. The reviewers disappointed in this series seem to be annoyed that it's not what they thought it should be, or comparing it to other shows, rather that accepting and enjoying a different take on a known tale. I also note that most of the complaints here that Arthur is a whiny, weak, boobie-obsessed boy (like most 17 year old boys, if you think about it), are they themselves whiny and obsessed with noting where in the episodes they can see boobies. Go figure. Bottom line: if you're looking for a great story, beautiful scenery and real characters, this is an excellent show to watch. I really enjoyed it and wish there were more episodes to see where it would have gone next.

This series could hardly be worse. The only reason I give it more than 1 star is Eva Green. Arthur is simply atrocious on every level. Bower's Arthur is equivocal to a more campy Zack Morris. Coupled with Merlin's excitement for playing Merlin in every scene and writing suitable for an Uwe Boll film, Camelot is difficult to watch without laughing.Camelot cannot decide whether its a spoof comedy, a kids show with nudity, or a drama. Let me be the first to say that it had better chance at a comedy. Although kid's show with nudity, like Camelot, is a new genre all in itself.

An Awesome show but a complete bummer they cancelled season 2! Well worth the watch its just unfortunate that it aired at the same time as Game of Thrones otherwise it probably would have gotten a better rating. The show gives that old English, medieval feeling and is pretty convincing in most ways. Some times the story line is slightly shaky and confusing but did think that it was heading in the right direction and was looking forward to the next installment.If you like Game of Thrones this is a decent substitute.....which has been cancelled :(Another great show down the drain :(

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.
