I believe most people know who Merlin is. He's the wizard who served as the legendary King Arthur's left-hand. Well, I didn't really read about King Arthur's story but I watched the movies Merlin and Merlin's Apprentice. *grin*

Merlin was played by Sam Neill in both movies. I love both movies because of the magical side of it. Me and Mai love watching anything with characters with magic in it.

I'm so glad I discovered this new TV series. Well, it's not actually new since there have been 8 episodes already but we just discovered it. Merlin, the TV series, is all about the wizard during his younger years.

The story starts with Merlin and soon-to-be-King Prince Arthur, their meeting and how their friendship started. The young Merlin is played by Colin Morgan (pictured on the left).

It's pretty amazing. I already love and look forward to watching it. Mai, too. We were skeptical in the beginning because we initially didn't like Colin Morgan, the British actor who plays the young Merlin. But, now, I'm starting to love him.

Prince Arthur is played by Bradley James. Although we wanted him to be the lead because he's more attractive than Colin, I realized that Colin fits Merlin's character best.

The special effects are just right. Not too high-tech than the Harry Potter movies but, still, I know people would love this series.

I love the story of Merlin. The TV series shows that he was born with magical powers, not needing to say any encantations or spells to use magic. The young Merlin is still learning his full potential. Everything started when The Great Dragon tells him that he's destined to help Prince Arthur in the future in leading Camelot.

The series didn't really follow the adventures or the "real" story of King Arthur and Merlin, based on the books. For example, Guinevere (Angel Coulby - left) was supposed to be King Arthur's queen. But, in this series, she's the lady maid of Morgana (Katie McGrath - right), who is seemingly going to be Arthur's love interest in this series. We were expecting someone prettier to play Guinevere, too.

Anyway, we love all the actors in this series. They fit their roles, well, at least for me. There are a lot of things that I love about the series that I don't wanna mention here anymore because I might just spoil it for anyone who haven't watched it yet so.... just watch it for yourself! :)

If you weren't able to catch the first 8 episodes of Merlin, you can download torrents of these episodes. Go with torrents since they download faster because the speed increases over time as the # of seeders and leechers increase. Wanna know how to download torrents or find out more about it? I found this blog with tutorials on torrents:

Trust me, you're gonna love this TV series! Every episode shows new adventures of Merlin. I just hope this will be loved by more people so it won't end soon. Me and Mai are looking forward to watching it 'til Merlin reaches his full potential.

Too bad, though. They only aired 8 episodes. Not sure when they'll continue the season. I hope they'll be on for good.

Have you watched it? If yes, tell me what you think!

If you haven't yet, what are you waiting for?!?!
