Just caught the first two episodes of this show.  It's not great, but it's not awful either.  It's more fun to play Spot the Doctor Who Actor in the episodes.  Besides having Anthony Head and Michelle Ryan, Eve Myles is featured in the first episode as a witch who swears revenge on Uther (Head) after he has her son executed for performing wizard acts.

It's a fun little show and worth a look.

Finally starting to weed some of the programs off my DVR and that includes the second season of Merlin. Watched the first episode last night and it definitely is trying to be a darker show.  Not only that though, but they are trying to incorporate the magic as something more than just a remedy for ills or for doing cute tricks.  In fact, in watching this first episode, I couldn't help but wonder if they were going more for a Harry Potter feel here.  We shall see.

I have five more episodes to watch in order to catch up.  It's airing on Friday nights on Syfy.
