I agree Sir Gwaine with most of what you said. I really love Gwen, but I hate what the writers did to her character. It was hard to switch her back so quickly for the audience. And as for Morgana her character was way over the top -- extremely -- too dam evil. Like Zena the warrior princess it would have taken an entire series to redeem her. Mordred played his part well, but they could have done more with his character. Gwaine was under utilized, but excellent in his role. Overall the characters I liked the most were Merlin, Gaius, Kilgarrah, Freya, Gwen, Arthur, Gwaine, Cendred, Morgana,and Balinor. They all played their roles well. I think it is somewhat unfair to determine who was worst or better. I fault the writers for their inability to cultivate the characters in a way that it was not so extreme and by not providing more substance to those characters that had pertinent roles.
