No amount of nudity can redeem this abomination. I wish I could unwatch the three episodes my friend made me watch. "It's good, you like Arthur, there are naked women, watch it."
No, it's not good, "friend."
Did a semi literate 13 year old write this? Arthur being a cheating asshole sleeping with both his brother's girlfriend and his champion's fiancee in the first three episodes. Merlin being all of a sudden a growling idiot "tough guy." Everyone being all around imbeciles, walking into obvious traps left and right. The worst romantic dialog this side of George Lucas. The wimpiest badasses this side of Twilight. Godamn disaster.
And the casting. Oh, the casting. I thought Nigel Terry was kind of dorky in Excalibur but the Arthur they cast here makes him look like Liam fucking Neeson punching a dragon while planets explode in the background. What the fuck is this malnourished waif doing as Arthur? Why the fuck is a fop like Joseph Fiennes acting like a badass sorcerer? When it started I looked at the cast list and thought "Hey, Spartacus ended up working, this has Joseph Fiennes, Sean Pertwee, James Purefoy, Eva Green, it will click." Nope. Pertwee, dead, Purefoy, dead, Green is reduced to performing stupid magic tricks and showing her tits, Fiennes miscast as hell. Arthur and Guinevere exhibit less romantic chemistry than Two Girls One Cup.
The fact this series exists and actually has decent ratings insults me.
