Yes, a historical book.

Nathaniel Martello-White stars as a cunning and conniving Merlin, whose legendary cave is said to be at the foot of the Tintagel cliffs in Cornwall. A politician to his core, fearless and resolute, Cornwell's Merlin follows his connection to his gods above all else. A far cry from Disney's bumbling depiction in 1963, The Warlord Chronicles' Merlin is obsessed with the lost Treasures of Britain in a bid to restore Britain to its pagan ways, releasing the hold Christianity has taken over the country.

Also, increasingly just mad.

The actor is also way too young. Even at the start of the story (when the narrator is young), Merlin is elderly and even his wife is "now old and toothless".

releasing the hold Christianity has taken over the country.

This is why they picked a black actor. "Christianity bad".

There's plenty of black Christians, but whatever.

Only because their mom forces them to go to church on sundays between all the drugs, murder, and violence of the rest of their weeks.

Merlin character swapped from an ancient wiseman who is trying to restore England to glory, to a coniving politician who's trying to loot the country and put his gods in place of their own...so they make him black..

Merlin isn't exactly a "good" character in it.

The true Christian Galahad is exactly a good character.

(At least, in the books.)

Thanks. Honestly now I just read the book (which I need to buy now). I assume they will butcher it. Started when I heard Wheel of Time would be adapted. I went out and got the books.

Get physical copies before they’re “updated.”

Wait they are making the warlord chronicles into a tv series? What a way to become instantly disappointed.
