Merlin

[armb]

I would expect a series with characters named Merlin (a magician) and Arthur (son of Uther Pendragon) to be:

[ ] A retelling of Arthurian legend
[ ] Generic fantasy borrowing some Arthurian names, I'm cynical
[ ] Generic fantasy borrowing some Arthurian names, I've heard the reviews

[] a series with characters named Merlin (a magician) and Arthur (son of Uther Pendragon). Everything else is negotiable.

[x] I took the opportunity of mere mentions of Merlin and Arthur to agree to watch High School Musical yet again.

[ ] Rubbish if it's a BBC series (made in the recent couple of decades).

Both b and c - I gave up after a few episodes of Robin Hood, since I just couldnlt manage to suspend my disbelief, and I can't believe Merlin will be better.
