Merlin is the
Smallville approach to Arthurian legend.
If that Starz version (
Camelot) gets off the ground, that will be the
Tudors (or maybe the
Spartacus?
) approach to Arthurian legend. Which doesn't sound good but might at least be fun.
There must be a better way to do things. How about the
Deadwood approach to Arthurian Legend?
BSG?
Desperate Housewives?
