I agree. They needed to differ him from Arthur and instead of giving Arthur a great achievement, they denigrated Uther. They probably also needed a better excuse for Morgana being so evil.

They indeed said that they showed Uther that way to make clear that he "wasn't a figure of affection" but always a  "selfish, tyrannical and dictatorial king". And Bradley James said that it he was always a villain and that it was dangerous to make him likable. Very ridiculous.

Anyway, I made a Livejournal entry because some people here can't stand too much criticism. So in case you're interested, here is the link:
