I wanna start by saying why I like this series, and then continue as to why I think some people hate it: The acting is first class, the plots for each episode are original and brilliantly delivered and the script is top notch. The costumes and set are fantastic but even if they were awful I would still watch this show.
Now on to why I *think* people don't like it: It is, I will admit, not historically accurate. It should and seems to be set in the dark ages, but the decor is very 1400's. But what kind of historical accuracy did you expect from a TV series that stars a wizard and features a dragon as a major plot element? If you want to learn about the legend of King Arthur, read a factual book.
If you want to have a great time watching a TV show that is sure to take off and become a great success, watch this. 10/10
