This show demonstrates the good and bad qualities of the human existence. I think the writers  are struggling with possibly finding a balance that will keep the show  eventful and interesting. They did however start off good, because there was always something bad that turned good. Now, as the show gets darker it's harder to see the light at the end of the tunnel. With that being said, I think as a viewer one should not take this show too seriously. It's merely entertainment -- if you take it too seriously you will not enjoy it. If you are a psych major perhaps you are getting off on getting in the heads of the characters and depicting the faults of each one etc. I personally like a good ending to a story or some type of retribution that everyone involved gets what they deserve. Although, I am not a big fan of Morgana's behavior -- I love how she's always dress to kill. The black lace dresses the hooded cloak she's wear is to die for. I was no fan of Uther, but he was a take charge kind of guy and he demanded respect. For instance in "The Gates of Avalon" he threaten to imprison the girl and father if Arthur did not show him respect. Uther was wise to tell him that he has plenty of time to fall in love. He was fatherly and wise. I just love Arthur because he is courageous and he has a big heart. There's always something good that one can see in each character. The human condition is what it is and it's nice that the producers of this show wanted to create a more colorful version to Arthurian myth. I've seen the Excalibur the adult version it is harsh and brutal. This one was made for all to see and enjoy. Women who dress like women with long flowing hair and men with beards and swords. Chivalry, nobility, and loyalty are demonstrated throughout this show. In real time those qualities are rarely demonstrated. So we should be grateful to have a show that reminds us that those characteristics truly exist in man kind.
