If you are still curious, i do complain about a lot of inconsistencies, for example Arthur did not grew up with Uther, at first Merlin was at the service of Uther, Mordred was the son of Arthur and Morgausse, Sir Elyan (The White) was not the brother of Guinivere and certainly not the son of a blacksmith, Guinivere descended from a noble family, I could go on and on but I think it would be pointless,

There wouldn't be much point in paying a fortune to produce a series if they were just going to cover the same territory that has been covered multiple times before. 65 episodes of 45-50 minutes each, would be 45-50 hours, excluding credits. I think that it was better for them to take a different approach to the usual, or it could have ended up a duller, and much shorter series.

Camelot, which stuck to Arthur not being raised by Uther, Guinevere being of noble birth, Merlin being older than Arthur and previously serving Uther, and presumably Mordred being conceived by Arthur and his half-sister, lasted only ten episodes.
