My wife and I love this series and are delighted that there is to be a second helping. I have to laugh at the people who say that it is inaccurate as the whole thing is myth and conjecture anyway. Just enjoy it for what it is a great piece of escapist TV. If you think that you know about Arthur I would suggest that you read Bernard Cornwell's "Warlord Trilogy" it will make you completely rethink everything that you thought you knew. However, I digress, the series was well made and well acted. Colin Morgan plays the part of a young and inexperienced teenager perfectly, Tony Head is exasperating as the pig-headed Uther and Katie McGrath is the feistiest Morgana as well as being totally captivating (I think I've fallen for her which is crazy as I'm nearly 60 and married). The story lines are good and the special effects are no worse than I've seen in many films and a lot better than some.
