So, what did you think? I've only watched episode 1 (and I'm sad to say the end of episode 2 is going to be cut off because of stupid golf), but it seemed pleasant. Felt like a kids' show, but I like kids' shows. I do think it's straining a little too much to change up the Arthurian legend, but that will fade with time, probably.

I liked ep. 2 less (was able to see the whole thing because it's available on demand). Some cheap devices were used to further the plot.

I like it well enough. Granted, it wasn't spectacular television by any means. But it was nice to have something to watch on Sunday night, and it was even nicer that Tony Head was on my TV in a new capacity. I didn't dislike any of the actors, and I expected the FX to be far cheesier than they actually were. (I've been grading on a BIG curve lately because I've been DVRing crappy late-night movies on SciFi.)

Yeah, it's not bad for what it is. I'm just crabby these days. In a different mood, those cheap devices would merely have made me chuckle.

So, I finally started to watch this. The first ep was pretty good. I didn't recognize ASH until he started talking, even though I knew it was him. One question though... why was he credited as Anthony Head instead of Anthony Stewart Head?

We downloaded and watched the whole season over the past couple of weeks. Once I let go of any expectations of the show resembling the myth cycle in any way, I was able to enjoy it well enough. It's certainly pretty what with all the castle shots, and the wandering about in the woods.
