Camelot season 1 review

Camelot season 1dvd , according to the Arthurian legend, is developed by Graham King, Morgan O'Sullivan and Michael Hirst. It is a torical- fantasy-drama television series. Sturdy as the tale of Camelot is and irrespective of both cinematic versions as well as the now  famous musical based on the story, television has now taken on the tale and the results as recognized by a solitary episode  seem to be engaging along with a darker and more earthbound version of the dream kingdom of Camelot dvd release date. The cast is good  with some famous names and with a nice mysterious part for merlin so far. Arthur has yet to convince me since he's  young and in my eyes not yet 'The King Arthur' you'd expect. Even though injunctions in promotional materials to "Forget all you  know" about Arthurian legend, very little about this revision of the tale is fresh, and what is new is ultimately not that  fascinating. Indeed, we've seen the "gritty" take on various works of childhood mythology so many times that it's become a  convention in and of by itself. This is not HBO or even Showtime, and no person is holding their breath for Camelot to pull down  any Emmys this year, but these diminished expectations actually work in the show's favor. Camelot plays it fast and loose  with genre, historical authenticity, and good taste on the whole, but there's a certain lack of cynicism about the  proceedings that's amazing for a show that, on the surface, looks like just another exploitative traditional melodrama.
