Definitely a show made for binge-watching.
I agree with @paosv about it being a bit of a mix of Gossip Girl and How to get away with murder, it kind of has that vibe.
It's a bit cliché at times but I do think the characters are well rounded(most of them) .
I didn't figure out who killed Marina until the very beginning of episode 8, so it took me a while, but it wasn't who i would have suspected from the start.
I really enjoy this show. Some of the scenes are laugh out loud funny and many others make you chuckle to yourself. As someone who seems to have been immunized against the 'humour' of Two and a Half Men and The Big Bang Theory its a relief to find a show like this.
Ty Burrell as Clive Bixby on his rendezvous cracks me up.
Pretty dull show that has its occasional moments but nothing too memorable. Go watch The Inbetweeners again instead.
Really enjoyed this more than I thought I would! Aidan Gallagher stole the show as Number Five- who returned thru time as the mature 5 but in his younger body. He really nailed the part until it was hard th believe he is actually just fifteen yrs old! Recommended viewing!
Was it really as great as everyone says?
Only you can answer that, I personally believe it’s a modern 90s sitcom which struck a nostalgia chord in me. It’s characters were quirky and interesting to watch and the story line was good enough, lastly, the most important thing is that the jokes were able consistently make me smile or on occasion laugh. This show for me is plain old fun.
However, what I love about this show is not anything to do with all that. This show was in its fifth season when it caught my attention. I was at university and my friends and I would binge it. It quickly became a part of our routine and whenever I watch it now it brings back all of this memories of fun and freedome that came with that part of my life.
This is not the best show ever, but I will always love it,
Excellent finale. They did go out with a BANG.
Normally i would gave it 8/10, but it deserves +1 for a nerd show with which I can find common traits. ;>
Pretty interesting approach to the whodunit genre. It's a mix of pretty mature and intense subjects such as discrimination and abuse among high-schoolers and over the top teen movie moments.
@rottnkorpse .. I thought the whole series was pretty awesome, and I loved the way year by year it grew, as the characters grew! Everything about it was excellent! However, I don't agree about the last episode. Yes, I was disappointed, but only because I knew it was over! It was pretty much the way I would expect an incredible series like "Merlin" to end! I really wish it wasn't over!!
I've watched all seasons and started again... can't believe it's over... :'( please come back!
What am I going to watch now that Merlin is done!?!?
I watch it when I need to get cheered up. In a way it's a family I turn to when no one is around...thank you for saving me a lot of times. I'm grateful this show exists. Acting is superb and I love how awkward it is, just like me sometimes haha. 10/10!
I don't grow up with this show, heck I just found out about it when the show already at season 5. So I marathon until I can catch-up with the latest episode back then. And it was the best decision I ever made. Everything about this show is so perfect, the cast, the joke, the drama, and the life lesson. I really wish that maybe, one day, I can have my own version of Modern Family.
I really can't believe this show gonna end
Some episodes are much better them others, this is a fun show at times, though no where close to the films, but if you like Kung Fu Panada you might get a kick out of this. I do like the development it gives to the characters.
I enjoy this show from time to time. My personal favorite is Monsters vs. Aliens. However, my mother watches this show almost every night to relax and go to sleep to after a long day of watching kids or working hard. I don't know how she would survive without it. Gosh Garry!
What can I say?. It's a Madagascar spin-off, and it works in both humor and fun. It has better graphics than The Penguins Of Madagascar, and the scenes have more texture detail. Then again, I'm here for the move it, move it and not the CGI. My only complain is that it's only 5 episodes, but it's a nice Netflix Christmas gift for the little ones at home.
Best TV show EVER !
A fantastic series that totally deserves another season. Throughout the whole show, you are conflicted on who are the good people and who are the bad ones. Themes of discrimination, racism etc. are very prevalent in the story and are represented accurately. A super enjoyable, bingeable show that will keep you intrigued ~ M
when i first started watching merlin i was just curious but now i cant wait till next season recommend this to anyone who would like to have another view at how king arthur became the man he was (in this tale ofcourse :) )
This was a favorite of mine for years.
So painful to say goodbye. What an amazing series! Oh great. I'm crying again.
I enjoyed it without being completely blown away.
Exploring the family dynamics of estranged adopted siblings with a wide range of super powers and a horribly emotionally abusive and exploitative father AND an apocalypse- things are gonna get weird.
The story was not predictable- certainly weird, but I didn’t know what was going to happen, which is good.
Some characters were better than others - Klaus, self-medicating his disturbing power with illicit drugs and Hazel the sympathetic time-travelling hitman in particular worked well for me.
The use of music was great. Some great songs giving a backdrop to many of the action pieces, plus Vanya’s classical music vibe.
I haven't had this much fun with a (sort of) sex centred show since Californication! The characters are instantly likeable, the soundtrack is not only very good on its own, but also neatly adjusted for the show. Like others have mentioned, the cinematography is superb, every time I'd watch an episode I'd feel as if I had just bought a new TV. It's that good!
These characters are so adorable and well written that one can't help but laugh with them, get angry with them, get horny with them, and cry with them throughout the whole show.
Sex Education makes me wish I was in a relationship that was broken just to get sexual advice from Otis. Damn, that kid is good!
And here's a shout-out to the guy who had things worse during the first season: Gillian Anderson's sink. We feel your pain, bro.
This show is the best sitcom currently on TV. With the colourful characters, and their responses to each other, whether silent, verbal, or physical... You can tell there is love, competition, jealousy, sarcasm, and inclusion (or lack thereof). Like someone else said, this show is better for those who watch consecutive episodes, rather than sporadic bits here and there from different seasons...
hate to see this show end. I've been watching these guys so long that it felt like I was losing personal friends. I will miss these guy's.
Aidan Gallagher is an incredible talent for his age I found myself really impressed with his performance.
Oh my goodness this show is phenomenal! Episode 4 shook me to the core, what an emotional roller-coaster!
Just an amazing show! I can watch this over and over again and it never gets old. Really looking forward to seeing The Legend of Korra.
Am I the only one who thinks comedy/sitcoms were better in general when they didn´t grew on trees?
Up to today "The Nanny" still is one of my all time favs. Although you knew from the start of the show were it would lead, and although they were using about every possible cliché, the characters grew on me and I not only watched for the good comedy it was but to see how the story and the characters evolved.
Today, whenever I happen to find an episode running, and it is still running somewhere, I can´t resist to watch.
Thank you Merlin.
