Cursed: Season 1

1x02 Cursed

Slightly better than the first episode. Still, I don't like Nimue very much, it is hard to put my finger on it but it seems that she behaves a bit like a contemporary teen, I know the character is a teenager but she doesn't have any historical or legendary feel, showing she is the stuff of legends and not a human being at all. Her relationship with Arthur is OK, but I'm really worried about Pym as she hasn't shown since the last episode which suggests she might have been killed by the Paladins. Merlin is very dark indeed, and he obviously hates Christianity, I found the scene in which he destroys the crosses a bit disturbing. The character of the Widow is intriguing, though, and I wonder how she fits into the Arthurian mythology.
The animated sequences are really great, it is a pity the show is not an animation, it might have been better than the live-action series.

@ladysherlockian They burned the Fey on those crosses...

@des452 I don't think Merlin destroyed the crosses out of sympathy for the Fey as he did not care about them and he was considered a traitor among the Fey. Merlin really doesn't care about anything but his own interest. He was just doing it out of spite for Christianity.
