Series 4 of Merlin is darker than the past series and I love it for that. Morgana's powers become greater and her allies increase in numbers. Arthur and Gwen experiece some hardship in their relationship. Merlin more regularly takes on his old alias Dragoon. The series as a whole is very good and the episodes are gripping.
Only three things I wasn't impressed with this series (WARNING-SPOILERS):
1) The finale. Morgana attempts to take over Camelot with her army. This is mostly very similar to the series three finale, with one big difference: the witch doesn't really get to fight. Unlike in the series three finale when Morgause takes on Arthur, Morgana simply has her powers bound by Merlin and runs. I couldn't help but be very dissapointed at that... it just seemed a bit too easy.
2) Merlin has a magical move where he throws the enemy off their feet and knocks them out. This is starting to get old and makes for a few very anticlimactic endings.
3) A lot in Merlin isn't accurate to the legend and usually I don't mind that... but I didn't like that Merlin had to magically cast the sword out of the stone for Arthur. In the legend, the one true king is the only one able to lift the sword from the stone, while in Merlin he simply uses this story as a way to build up Arthur's confidence by fooling Arthur. As I said, I'm usually not bothered by how close to the legend Merlin is, but I strongly felt they should have kept that VERY significant scene the way the legend told it.
However, overall this series deleivers another great load of enchanting episodes and magical adventures.

This Series was good but expected more,more magic,more of the dragon more action, battles etc... and i no it is for children but sometimes it is a bit childish to often and this spoils it a bit for the adults watching. but my daughter watches it over and over again.. if she was writing this she would say its epic and have gave it 5 stars.....

I absolutely adore 'Merlin' and this series has been no exception. Its a rare thing with todays tv shows to be really exciting and to keep you on the edge of your seat. The actors are brilliant and the only negative thing that i can say is that the series are not long enough!.
Can't wait for series 5, bring it on:)

This new series 4 is really fantastic. A little more evil and dark but I think that's exactly what we needed.
Can't wait for season 5 to be ready.
