Would be a fun series to watch, wizards trying to run a functioning castle under a king who doesn't understand the importance of anything magical.
Well, fun for me. Might be some high blood pressure and early heart attacks for IT folks who have to live it.
"A dragon has never attacked the castle. Why do we even have a wizard?"
"A dragon is attacking the castle. Why do we even have a wizard?"
BBC series Merlin was a little like this. King Uther hated magic, Prince Arthur was kinda against it because he was told it was dangerous, but didn't exactly hate it himself. Meanwhile Merlin took a job as a servant, doing magic-y things to protect him. Wasn't a great series (writing), but it had enjoyable aspects.
I mean, it got 5 full seasons. It wasn’t terrible by any means.
Having a lot of seasons means it was popular enough to warrant them. Not that it's quality. One would hope they correlate but IDK how well it actually does. You've got plenty of people who say the Big Bang Theory is shit and it ran for 11 seasons. As someone who watched it I'd say it was no better than average.
I say this as someone who knows little more about this show other than it exists.
