User blog comment:Percivalxx/Which series of Merlin did you find the best?/@comment-4135736-20130109114146

Blimey, I've been absent for more than a week, well I have this to say, I honestly think this show has gone downhill since Series 4 started so for me it goes like this:

1) Series 1: I loved this season, currently my favourite, it had magical duels, progression with the characters, and good consistency but I disliked the modern look at the start.

2) Series 3: Also good, there were some on screen battles and Arthur got reall close to becoming the great King but I disliked Morgana's sudden turn to an insane person.

3) Series 2: Initially this was my least favourite season but now I think that it was better than the last two seasons because despite the filler episodes, there was still consistensy with the characters

4) Series 4: This was where the show started to lose what made it so great, too many plotholes and Agravaine was just a repeated version of Series 3 Morgana.

5) Series 5: My least favourite season, sorry but it was the most stupid way for this show to end, Merlin ending up as a modern day postman, more plotholes especially with Aithusa, Mordred being different to his Series 1 and 2 character, all the main characters failing their destinies and that pointless story of Gwen being Morgana's puppet, pathetic.
