At first, I thought that this series would be really good based on the trailer. I had high hopes and was really looking forward to it but it didn't really keep me on my seat. The casting was kind of a let down for me - only Daniel Sharman's character was appealing.
I understand that Nimueh isn't a "fighter" so it's understandable that she can't wield the sword properly but it's a no-brainer to at least let someone teach her how to do it along the way given that she'll be later called a "Queen". She can't just only use her magic, right? She also needs to know how to fight with the Excalibur or the Sword of Power.
They showed how Iris evolved from a simple young nun to a villain in that time span who defeated the main protagonist that easily (who is btw accompanied by The Widow, Merlin and was holding the sword - Iris was just a troubled kid) but they can't even train the 'The Queen' 🤷🏻♀️
The Paladins too - this is the first time I've seen such a plot in an Arthurian legend.
Some of the action scenes were weak tbh. The fight between Gwaine and Lancelot feels like it's lacking. The Red Spear and that Ice Nation Clan fight in the end too 🤔
There's a great potential in this series but I hope they'd fix it — that's if they'll get another season.
If there will be, I'll still watch it though because of Daniel portraying Lancelot.
