Speaking to What's on TV, the Irish actress revealed that the witch has been given more depth this year.
She explained: "I'm enjoying this series so much because she's got a clearer path. She's not just sitting in her cave cackling, she's trying desperately to do something she believes in.
"Who doesn't love a bad girl? After playing her for three series as good, bad and evil, I can say that bad girls definitely have more fun!"
Defending Morgana's traits, McGrath added: "I don't really believe she's evil. I think she's more a victim of her circumstances. She was persecuted in a kingdom that if they knew about her magical ideas, they'd have killed her.
"I hope she comes across as a sympathetic villain. I want people to watch her and think, 'Well maybe she's going about it the wrong way, but I can see her point.' That's what I'm trying to get across."
BBC One's Merlin continues this Saturday at 8.15pm.
