I think that the series as a whole wasn't thought through well enough. It was a good show but had the potential to be a truly great one, potential that was not realised.

As for Nimueh in Excalibur, one thing that this show was never subtle about was the reveal that somebody was being deceitful or villainous. Look at Morgana's many smirks in Season Three. Agravaine appears dressed in black and wastes no time in proving that he is betraying Arthur to Morgana. Likewise, it didn't take long for Ulfric and Sophia to reveal that they were not a pair of innocent, dispossessed nobles.

It stands to reason that, if Nimueh was supposed to be lying to Uther in Excalibur, there would have been a similarly unsubtle hint that her story wasn't as clear cut as she claimed within the same episode, not at the end of the season. ''True. I think that the wider arc of Arthur building a just kingdom was lost in the Monster of the Week plotlines. - Perhaps in season 1 we had a bunch of villains and Nimueh'' - who was intended as someone special. Unlike Morgana, Morgause and Agravaine who were rather Monster of the Week base.
