Heartbreaking and heartwarming and wonderful acting
24 May 2024
I absolutely loved the series, it was interesting right from the beginning, I often lose interest by the second or third episode and this series had me binging the entire thing and in a single evening! Even though I had to get up early the next morning, I just couldn't stop watching it.

All the actors did a wonderful job, I found the flow of the timeline quite easy to follow, and it was very realistic, and it's the first time I see a show that shows all the different ways that the Jewish population was stopped from trying to escape. This was quite eye-opening. Wish they would make a follower with all of their lives after.

Wonderful cast and storyline!
24 February 2024
I just loved this show. I had watched the anime years ago and it was cute, funny and silly, but this version is beautiful, characters have more debt and it's more serious, . I absolutely love the cast, all these wonderful actors that I don't know. So glad they made a point of taking actors that weren't caucasian.

As with all movies in the fantasy field, the critics are so harsh. But as we can see from the general public, this is very well received.

I'm on the 5th episode and I'm really hoping it keeps going and they make a second season out of this show. Really enjoying it, binging it! Keep it going!!

Wonderful to get to visit this magical world again!

I finished the first season and loved it!! Can't wait for season 2! I've heard they'll make 5 seasons!! So excited! Loved discovering the stranger and his relationship with Eli.

I'm not surprised by the avid Tolkien fans to criticize this series... if you read the description on wiki, it explains why it doesn't follow the books and personally I read those books 30 years ago, so I don't remember them.

I've missed Lord of the rings so much, this has brought me back into that world and I'll be waiting with bated breath for the next season. Television is so terrible these days with reality crap, predictable violence, boring dramas... bring me fantasy type of shows anytime, and this one is 10 for me. Game of thrones and Witcher are my other 2 faves.

They've kicked it up a notch

A little more riské, still really silly and makes me laugh out loud. The nudity was shocking but hysterical! Love that this is allowed on Amazon.

Proud of the creativity of this Canadian group!

Excellent period drama! BBC does it again!
14 July 2013
I came across this title by accident and I ended up watching the first four episodes! I love the love story, the drama, the betrayal... Love the Queen's mother, the crazy religious woman with the son, the family... The costumes are beautiful, the queen is simply stunning, what a beautiful woman! Truly a treat to watch! I recognized several of the actors but there were many new faces as well. I read some of the other comments, and I am shocked! Really? Gosh people are so picky! I really enjoyed it, I found the actors to be truly convincing, the decors lovely and the storyline engaging!

Thank you BBC!

Merlin (2008–2012)
10/10
Love this show!
26 December 2011
Every week comes around and I keep getting excited about this show! I am not sure if it is actually getting better season after season or I am becoming addicted to it, but regardless this show offers me an escape to a magical world filled with laughter, tears and drama. The actors are adorable, especially when one watches the behind the scenes videos of them on youtube. The storyline keep changing to keep it interesting and never boring. I do keep wishing that Arthur discovers Merlin's big secret but at the same time I worry this would kill the show. For those that enjoy Harry Potter or Lord of the rings type shows, this show will make you smile!!
