Although it strayed a lot from historical fact,I actually enjoyed The Tudors and even like J.Rhys-Meyer's portrayal of Henry V111. I kind of hoped they would continue and do the Stuart dynasty too. However this 'Camelot' is a lot weaker in production and watching it again this morning,I doubt very much I am going to like it.

Like Kerry I will stick with Merlin.

Camelot obeys several of the basic rules of the genre in its modern form. There must be sex, for one thing, and not just discreet sinking-out-of-the-frame-type sex, but the nipple-flashing, buttock-revealing kind. So we first encountered Arthur as he lay stark naked on a river bank with an obliging local wench, trailing an approving finger across her haunch. There will also be bad language, or rather language pointedly at odds with the cod High Style that used to be de rigueur in these things. When an onlooker doubts that Arthur will be able to pull the sword from the stone, Merlin doesn't say, "Begone, low churl." He says, "Piss off." There will also be – and this really makes it tricky to control the giggling – a lot of Glowery Gothic, a style of acting in which everyone looks incandescently furious all the time.

Camelot, a monumentally dreary and cloth-eared "reimagining" of Arthurian myth.

In striving for gravitas and camp, it's about as convincing as Trevor McDonald reading the news while dressed as Carmen Miranda.

And as a sop to the youth demographic, the callow Arthur resembles a cross between Tim Minchin and some gormless middle-class hipster idiot from an iPhone advert.

It's a . then .....

Just finished the first season and it has been incredible. I thought during episode three that it appeared predictable and the episode felt weak after the two before it.

I stuck with it & I'm so pleased I did, it gets real tense towards the end of the season and there's some brilliant twists along the way.

Eva Green plays Morgan so well she stole the show for me.

Don't think I'll bother with the show now. Just read it's been cancelled, I'm sick of getting into shows that end before they have a chance to finish the story.

On June 30, 2011 Starz announced it was not going to order new seasons of Camelot, citing significant production challenges, predominantly scheduling conflicts with some members of the cast, including Joseph Fiennes, Jamie Campbell Bower and Eva Green.

I like this now, wasn't keen on the first episode but it has grown on me I have to admit.
