Pendragon Cycle: Rise of Merlin now on Prime
Posted on 9/8/26 at 8:21 pm

The daily wire produced show is now on Prime. I saw it was #3 on shows so I thought what the hell I’ll give it a watch.
I am baffled. There is some good stuff inside here. There is.
But the first two episodes are totally disjointed and incomprehensible. Not even a shred of exposition explaining for even a second what the hell is going on and who any of these people are. Just all over the place. I rarely give up on shows and I like Arthurian stuff, but this is truly hard to watch
I assume Merlin actually shows up eventually. Does it get better?

It gets better after the first two episodes but total agreement

I lasted two episodes and gave up. Does that mean it actually gets good or just better than the pile of shite from the first two episodes?

It’s such a weird opening. I truly have little idea what the hell is going on

It's fantastic throughout. I was confused after the first two episodes, but it was totally worth it because they were awesome.
Also, yes. Merlin shows up at the end of episode 2.

After the 1 & 2 it starts to clean up and stay focused.
But it was all over the place and hard to keep up with what was going on in the beginning.

Started this after getting burned by Witcher(post S2… S1is one of my favorites) and Wheel of Time.
I get the first two episodes being a hard feel but actually really get what they’re going for after that. I was all in after that.
It really is a solid rendition and honestly more interesting/gripping than RoP

Let’s not pretend that GoT isn’t or the Witcher made sense the first couple of episodes

Yeah much better after the first two episodes but good lord they were stretching the Autherian legend and history

I agree with how disjointed episodes 1&2 are to the rest of the series. Otherwise I thoroughly enjoyed it. The ending also seemed quite a bit rushed.
End of battle.
Uther gets pissed
Merlin had a vision.
Sword in Stone.
Credits.
leaves you wondering if a season 2 is coming (it isn’t) and if there was going to be a season 2 why they would essentially spoil the entire plot of season 2.

After the first two episodes it was decent but there was a lot of jumping around and some totally inexplicable scenes
If they get another season I really hope they get some screenwriters that can tighten things up

Almost started it last night. Looked it up on imdb and saw the rating was 6/10 so passed. Might give it a go at some point but a 6/10 normally means CW level bad.

Nah, it's just that review bombing by leftists is considered acceptable.

i liked it more than Wheel of Time by far. not more than Witcher S1, but more than WoT or RoP.

Yea I mean that's not going to stop me from watching it but it was late and if it had been highly rated I might have started it. Looks interesting.

Outside of the horrid pacing and all the jumping around of the first 2 episodes I did enjoy them.
I'm now through episode 4 though and am not sure if I will keep going, as its a bit of a slog.
The 6.1 IMBD is clearly too low but its also not great either.

That isn't much of a hurdle. WOT was about the biggest pile of crap ever produced with a large budget. Sure ROP is just as bad but WOT absolutely craps on the source material. Kills people still around in book 14. Turns favorite characters into a-hole evil jerks and has the gall to try its hardest to make the chicks the main characters and refuses to let the audience know what book readers know which is Rand in The Dragon. Nothing like the women of the village beating trollocs off with brooms while the men prove they are useless. Steaming pile of refuse. I would rather watch Terra Nova on an endless loop than 1 season of WOT.

I couldn't get past the first episode

This is the kind of hate post I can get behind.

My wife picked this one for us to watch. The first 2 episodes were hard to follow, but it did get better. Reminded me of Witcher in that way.
I was pleasantly surprised. The acting, costumes and music were all good.
