10. Merlin’s loyalty to Arthur

9. Gaius’ perpetually raised eyebrow

8. Loyalty, honour and friendship

Above all else Merlin is about friendship, and honour, and loyalty to those you love. Whether they’re fighting trolls, dragons, griffins or Morgana, it always comes back to those core values. See, we don’t just watch for fun – we actually learn important life lessons!
7. The chemistry of the cast

6. Guinevere’s journey from servant to Queen
In series 1 it seemed impossible that Gwen the servant girl would ever catch Arthur’s eye and become Queen of Camelot, yet here we are – with an even more beautiful love story than in the original legends. The Arthur/Guinevere story was told so beautifully, and we don’t mind that they changed the legends so Gwen didn’t really betray Arthur; our hearts wouldn’t have been able to handle it.
5. The Knights of Camelot

4. The fandom
One of the main reasons why Merlin is so successful is because of how deeply it resonated with fans of all ages. And some of those fans go online and make beautiful magic together: fanfics, fanvids, memes and much more makes the show so much better!
3. Reinventing the legends

2. “It will be an empty world without you, young warlock”

Preach, Kilgharrah! The way in whichMerlin acknowledges the importance of its characters, and makes references to the fact that what we’re seeing truly is legend in the making, gives us chills. We are truly sad to see the show reach it’s end tonight. We hope that the series finale gives the show the justice it deserves and that by the end of it we’re happy with what the showrunners have come up with. We’ll miss you Merlin, and the world of television will never be the same!
1. Merlin and Arthur’s epic bromance

Whether you’re Team Romance or Team Bromance, no one can deny that above all, this show is about the relationship (or as Alex Vlahos calls it, the “platonic love story”) between Merlin and Arthur. For better or worse, the two boys are destined to save the world together – and to form a bond that will, quite literally, be the stuff of legend.
