Merlin 2026 – The Pendragon: A promising start that makes you curious to see more.
Merlin 2026 – The Pendragon pleasantly surprised me from the first episodes. I can’t say that it blew me away from the beginning, but it’s the kind of production that you feel gradually grows. It’s a bit slow at the start, but it has that something that makes you believe that it will become much better along the way. The atmosphere slowly takes shape, the characters begin to take shape, and the tension rises episode after episode.
What attracted me the most is the way it manages to combine mystery, magic, and drama without forcing the note. It feels like the story has direction, that there is a larger plan behind each scene, and that makes me curious to see where everything will lead. It's the kind of production that doesn't show you everything at first, but lets you discover Merlin's world at the right pace.
As you progress, you begin to feel that the world built around Merlin is not just a setting, but a character in itself. The details, the symbols, the tensions between the characters – they all seem to prepare the ground for something bigger. It's not just magic thrown in at random, but a mythology that settles gradually, patiently.
I like that the series doesn't rush. It gives you time to get attached to the characters, to understand their motivations and to feel their evolution. Even the slower moments have a clear role: they build that atmosphere specific to Arthurian stories, where every choice has consequences and every secret hides another secret.
If the beginning made me curious, the evolution convinced me that it was worth staying. And if this pace continues, “Merlin 2026 – The Pendragon” has every chance of becoming one of the pleasant surprises of the year.
Because it’s the kind of story that builds in layers. It’s not just about magic, but about destiny, loyalty, sacrifice and the power of choice. And, honestly, you rarely find a series that combines mystery with emotion so well.
