Merlin? More like Mmmerlin.

I'm very selfish. Especially when it comes to television and movies. If I love something, I want to share my passion of it with everyone I know. Do you know how many times I've seen the first 10 episodes of Modern Family? I show it to everyone I meet. Everyone.

The subject of my passions is often my internet wife, Jessica. You probably know her from Glee Chat and Smash Chat over on Hypable. If you follow me on Twitter you know the antics we get up to while we Skype. Quite often, Jessica and I will have a movie night or a television night. But you know what? It's always what I want to watch. (To be fair, I have impeccable taste in television and movies. You can ask Jessica.)

So when Jessica kept mentioning she wanted to watch Merlin with me I was like "Ehhh....maybe." But then she said the key phrase that made my brain go into overdrive "YES PLEASE MORE" mode.

BBC.

I fucking love the BBC. My love for British television started with a small show call "All the Small Things" that only lasted one series, but followed a housewife whose husband is the choir director at their church. After her leaves he for another woman, she forms a rival choir and it's amazing. I should show Jess this show. She'd love it.

Then another show popped up on the radar. The IT Crowd.

Then it was Doctor Who.

Then it was Torchwood.

Now, goddammit, it's Merlin.

Merlin is amazing. I love everything about it. It's interesting for me because I don't know much about the Arthurian legend, so I'm really just engrossed in the story and I don't know what's going to happen. Jessica and I have created what we like to call "Merwho Marathon Night," where we alternate between an episode of Merlin and an episode of Doctor Who. She likes the Doctor. I'm so happy. Read her review here.

The characters are all very well played. They are also extremely attractive. I'm pretty sure Merlin is based on my fantasy man. It's like....I can't even. I get the lady shivers. In the last episode I watched, Merlin was dying and making delectable sounds. I'm not gonna say I got the lady shivers. I'm not going to say it.

Another thing I love is the music. It's so exciting and brilliant. I know I'm not being very descriptive on how much I love the show, but my love is clouding my intelligence. Basically my point is: stop being a pussy and go watch Merlin.

Thank you Jess. Let's watch Psych sometime too.
