There is much of the low-budget fantasy cheese. Of the "Oh no, the evil CGI is attacking" variety.
There is, uh. Um. Are you familiar with Smallville? If yes: this is the Smallville of Arthurian legend. If no: You will not recognize much other than names; it bears about as much resemblance to Arthurian legend as ... um ... well, it pretty much doesn't.
(I will edit or re-comment if I can think of a better parallel.)
It *is* very pretty, though, and it has ASH in it, and I find it dorktastically adorable. (And for good or ill, I am convinced that NO ONE in that Camelot is straight.)
ETA for clarity: I adore the show to pieces, it is my favorite cuddle-toy ever, but I'm guessing you-liking-ness might depend on how close you need it to be to the standard Arthurian mythos. ...really, it's kind of like the relationship between Twilight and any other vampire lore on the planet, except that Merlin has good writing and adorable characters. That, and people do not sparkle.
