Some reviewers are really turned off by a black person playing Arthur, a couple saying things to the effect: "pretty sure there were no black people in England back then!" This is technically wrong. Even still I'd answer that I'm pretty sure there were no sorcerers or magic swords in England back then either. Funny how suspension of disbelief can only go so far for some people. Literal magic: "sure, sure" but brown skin and "what? this could NEVER happen!" I wish people could grow up and get over these insignificant, superficial differences.
For watchers that aren't so racially preoccupied, this isn't the best show in the world, I'll admit, but it's not the worst either. I give it 6 out of 10 stars, mostly because although I found it entertaining, I have so far felt that it must be geared toward a younger audience than mine. While I will continue for a time, I haven't found the first couple of episodes particularly intelligent and I don't know how much I care about the characters yet. I have ended up getting really into shows that I found less interesting at the start, though, so we'll wait for a few more episodes to see if anything grabs me.
