Camelot

Starz is soon going to release their new TV series, Camelot. It seems that they are trying to reconcile the legend with real life. Based on trailers and interviews this one is not the idealistic view of a perfect king and ideal knights. Instead, the viewers see a brutal war, love and human flaws. Hopefully, this one will try to stick to a more historic Britain of Arthur's time, not the knightly Britain of the medieval war. Afterall, Arthur was no chivalrous knight. If he did indeed live, he was probably a warrior chieftain, more worried about survival and probably more brutal than the legends. Only time will tell if this show does justice to the top, but it is showing signs of being a very interesting adaptation.
