Merlin I and II

Merlin is a TV production, but nevertheless a very good one. The saga of Arthus is told from Merlins (Sam Neil) point of view. Merlin is the creation of Map (Miranda Richardson), the dark queen of the old way. She wants him to bring the humans back to the old way and she fears the Christianity. Because she will vanish if nobody believes in her. Merlin grows up at the nurse Ambrosia. When he becomes eighteen Map comes to take Merlin to teach him magic. But he can olny think of the girl whose life he saved, Nimue (Isabella Rossellini. When Map kills his nurse Ambrosia Merlin averts from her and never wants to use magic again. he becomes involed in the rising and falling of kings and he is the teacher of Arthus, who builts Camelot. But he can never forget Nimue. The special effects are really not worth to mention, but the actors are fantastic. Sometimes you are reminded to a theatre, which I find very good.
