One word: Perfect.
This is one of my favorite shows ( the other is Doctor Who).
Anyone who knows a little bit about this show knows that it follows the traditional tale of Camelot and Arthur. The only difference is that Merlin is younger and is in Camelot when magic is banned.
The show is everything. It has humor,action, adventure,romance, drama, and about everything you could want in a T.V show. It does a great job of blending all of these elements without one episode being boring. Yes, I mean it. Every episode is funny and amazing. When I watch it I get totally absorbed into the show and don't even think about anything else.
Merlin helps his Uncle Gais, as he is a physician, and becomes a servant to Arthur after saving his life. Basically, Merlin uses magic ALL THE TIME even though he's not supposed to. He's saved Arthur countless times and his other friends as well. There's more to tell but that would be a spoiler*. There are Dragons, Griffins, and other mythical creatures that they fight. There are also high priestesses, magic shields, and lots of other fantastical elements. Additionally, Merlin and Arthur's destiny is VERY important throughout the show as well.
Also,this show has a HUGE following on tumblr. If you type in merlin, merlin fandom, or even Colin Morgan you will find loads of gifs, fanart, quotes, graphic, and so much more. However, don't go to tumblr if you want to watch it but haven't watched it yet. It will ruin the ending of it because tumblr fans love making gifs of EVERYTHING, this means a gif for about every episode.
Back to the show. It simply much be watched. If you watch the first episode you'll get an idea and feel of the show. Towards the later seasons it gets darker but is still great.

Overall: I would recommend this show for anyone of any age. Since it is family oriented ANYONE can watch it and love it. I sure have. However, specifically those that love the Arthur Legend, fantasy, or medieval times, you will love this show.
