Merlin is about a teenage magician who learns his trade from Magister Gaius. It is his discovery of his abilities that the show centers around and viewers find the idea intriguing to see how he learns how to concentrate his new powers for the sake of good. Plenty of humor along the way keeps this program from becoming a documentary and the likeable characters make for fun television. Special effects are in play to make Merlin's talents appear even more fascinating. Merlin becomes a squire to noble Arthur, the crown prince and has more opportunities to put his magic to work. King Uther Pendragon hates magic and has subsequently outlawed it from his kingdom, but his son Arthur is the one Merlin must worry about and keep his magical capabilities a secret or fear execution. An imprisoned dragon tells Merlin he has a destiny to fulfill and that means staying alive at any cost. Talented young Colin Morgan plays Merlin and Bradley James as Prince Arthur head up an extremely talented cast in the magical world of Camelot.
