Good riddance. A show which blossomed in season 2 and fell on its face in season 4. Dark, edgier and brooding characters in dark clothing and over-exposed film isn't a new concept, it makes a good show a cheap Buffy style romp.

Not only did the quality of the episodes decrease, but the humour disappeared. This show was the only thing that was comparable to the Hollywood greats like The Vikings, The Adventures of Robin Hood and Ivanhoe. We can't represent every past time as utterly depressing just to appeal to small minded teenage girls who like seeing obnoxious, infantile, insipid children take the piss.

This show went down hill in season 3 when Morgana started getting nasty. Her descent to evil was very unjustified, her decision to end the Uther days seemed, from the audience's perspective, too sudden and forced and fake.

So here we have close up shots of Morgana being all happy with herself and Morgause for being evil. The entire season is a montage of her smiling really.

We saw no conflict between Uther and Morgana. It was never explained if Morgana revealed her magic to him. Man, wasted opporunities.

Then in season 4 we have no more humour episodes like Beauty and the Beast, except for the ridiculous teasing of Merlin and Arthur, and they kill off their talented actor Anthony Head.

Truly, with the right timing, they could of had Uther concede to step down and allow his boy to become King. Instead they killed him and lost their best actor.

Season 5 is just more of the dark, saturated, fake bullshit of season 4. The only improvement is Gwen's fantastic breasts.
