Have you watched it? Try forgetting everything you ever heard or read about Merlin and the legends. I started to watch it and was getting p/off because it didn't follow the stories i knew, but then i stopped caring about that and started to really enjoy it. The story line is good in its own right and the character interaction especially between Arther and Merlin is brilliant, its got great humour and i love it. Try watching it, it starts getting good about the 3rd or 4 ep, I'm only a few years younger than you:)
