User blog comment:Fimber/When family is what destroys you/@comment-4650675-20121120191906

Tha was a GREAT post, Fimber! In my opinion, Arthurian Legends is full of treachery, incest, murders and things like that. That is why, in my opinion, a show like that was bound to become dark, and I would suggest it never be a family show.

I agree to all you've said about the concept of family in the show. Let's also add your wife suddenly trying to kill you like a psycho, who smirks when she poisons you and when she stabs innocent people.

Also, another reason I would never treat this as a family show is that even Merlin, who is a good character, has been a cold-blooded murderer for the sake of his master's life, which I greatly dislike and think that it gives a bad message to the viewers. They are not going to think that it was medieval times back then when human lives were not as significant(especially children).

So yeah, to me, this show was never meant to be a family show to begin with. It has only gotten rid of the incest, adultery and blood, but kept everything else.
