Advantages: more magic,adventure, exciting and funny at times Disadvantages: some scene are not suitable for young children
's character is quite funny and cocky. I actually folllow it through bbc1, it is now on it's 2nd season and the story is getting more exciting as it goes. On the otherhand, I think that it's not really for young children. Some of my friends kids get scared even seeing just the introduction. My son use to watch it with me and some characters and scene scares him a lot, but he gets through it at the end. As a result Merlin joins the list of his super heroes now.
So If you like to enter the magical world of Merlin and uncover the secrets. try this DVD series! ...
