The King Arthur story has been adapted many times over and in every way imaginable. However, some are better than others. An often-ignored example is BBC's Merlin, which came out in 2008. Though it adapts the legendary story, Merlin takes a unique approach, focusing on the wizard instead of the king. Certainly, Merlin takes liberties with the story, but it follows the same beats as Arthur rises to power and creates a legacy as the once and future king, with Merlin by his side. The show's twist on the legend is a breath of fresh air, but what stands out most is Merlin's dynamic characters and creativity, making it deserving of more attention than it receives.
