EPISODE
Camelot - Season 1
In that powerful series, there seem to be more powerful events where Guinevere wants to leave Camelot with Leontes, he is obliged to remain as one of the Arthur Knights trained by Gawain, a brilliant strategist who breaks Arthur's sword in combat. After Arthur is warned to resist his feelings for Guinevere, Merlin sets out to have a new sword made by the isolated Caliburn bladesmith, a widower living with his daughter Excalibur. Calibron's desire to give Arthur the sword he designed himself leads to the destruction of his Merlin by magic, and inadvertently drowns Excalibur, and then calls the sword.

More often than not, this is an adaptation that feels torn between approaches, between reverence and entertainment, and that leaves the series somewhat lumpy and inert.

Camelot faces an uphill struggle because the Arthurian legend's so overexposed there's no excitement about its existence as a continuing adult drama

About the only thing I enjoyed here was a new twist on the extracting of the fabled Excalibur sword from the stone.

Camelot's out-of-body tricks and turns at best will provide a subdued but tasty appetizer for the rampaging media feast to come
April 01, 2011
Camelot plays just fine as escapist fantasy fare for willing adults whose only expectations are to be entertained.

Nice looking, but not nearly enough action.

Most people excited to tune in a Starz version of Camelot won't be disappointed by this unique take on the legend.

No expense has been spared bringing Camelot to the small screen and the high production values do a great service to the story that is being told.

There's a fair amount of jolly good fun, and rarely a dull moment.

Here's the problem: uneven casting.
