Although the British fantasy drama became a cult favourite, it never quite broke through to the mainstream. In Camelot, where magic is banned, the young sorcerer Merlin learns of his fate to protect King Arthur. When they first meet, Arthur is a selfish, jock prince and Merlin is his new servant, but the two men and the people around them slowly grow into the figures of legend as they edge closer to their destinies.
