Synopsis: Merlin is back with even more magic, adventure and romance as the young wizard struggles to protect Prince Arthur in the perilous world of Camelot. While battling deadly assassins, mystical monsters and the most powerful sorcerers Camelot has ever seen, Merlin must work harder than ever to conceal his unique abilities, as King Uther redoubles his war against magic. And Merlin isn’t the only one whose destiny calls—Lady Morgana , Uther’s ward, discovers dangerous secrets she dare not reveal; Lancelot returns, changing everything for both Gwen and Arthur; and King Uther falls in love, little knowing that the charming Lady Catrina is secretly a hideous troll. And as Arthur continues on his path from arrogant prince to the noble and just King Arthur of legend, we see the return of the one prophesied to kill him—the mysterious druid boy, Mordred. Featuring exciting new villains, white-knuckle stunt sequences, and spectacular CGI monsters, Merlin: Season Two is more thrilling than ever.

Review: If you enjoyed the first season of the BBC Merlin, then season two will blow you away.  The first season was aired in the USA on NBC a few years back and has been played on SyFy, as well.  The second season includes more of Merlin maturing into the wizard we know him to eventually be, while focusing mostly on the budding romance between a young Arthur and Guinevere.

The special effects take the front seat in this season, giving us a lot of monsters and decidedly fancier graphics when the spells are cast.  The BBC produces some great programming and this blend of mythical lore and modern snyde is a great combination!

The special features on this DVD set include: Cast and Crew introduction to Season Two, Cast and Crew audio commentaries, Behind the Scenes, The Making of Merlin, Photo Gallery and Wallpapers.
