I arrived just in time for the start of the press screening, which is good as every scene is a must see. I initially thought it would just like First Knight turned series but I was surprised it is really different. What set this series apart from other shows that have explored Arthurian legend is it traces the rise of a young king Arthur as he struggles to unite a kingdom torn by war deception and betrayal. The story will show us the start of young Arthur's journey to become king when his father, King Uther Pendragon, was murdered by supernatural means. Guided by Merlin’s magical foresight and belief, and aided by his brave knights, Arthur sets forth to bring justice, hope and freedom to a kingdom corrupted by violence, greed and despair.

After seeing the first episode, one would really say that the production quality is comparable to a well-budgeted movies in Hollywood. Well, you should not really doubt that as Camelot is really financed with almost US $50 Million with up to 400 cast and crew members taking part to make this series into magnificent 10-part series. Camelot is an Irish/Canadian co-production by GK-tv, the television division of Graham King and Tim Headington’s GK Films, the production studio behind the 2010 movie, The Tourist. The series is created by British screenwriter Michael Hirst, who was behind such works as The Tudors and movie Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and penned by Chris Chibnall of Torchwood and Life on Mars fame.
The press screening ended with trivia games based on the press screening of Camelot. Bloggers and members from the media run for their life to answer Rich and Kat's trivia questions proving that they attentively watched the series from beginning til the last second of it. Winners were handed out some goody bags from the event sponsor, Penshoppe.

My Verdict: I believe this is again a must watch series from AXN Beyond. Some people may think medieval or period series is boring but you may have to think twice after watching this. The series has a good mixture of suspense, drama, action with some humor as well to make it more exciting. As noted, the cast and crew really portrayed very well on this series especially from Eva Green making the series something to watch-out for plus the great landscape and cinematography really completes the package. Your 1-hour every week should already be reserved for this series as this is really worth the time. With all the ingredients of a world-class production, Camelot promises an experience beyond your imagination as the epic, untold story is revealed this April, only on AXN Beyond.
