I thought she looked familiar, so I looked to see what else she had been in.
I haven't seen 13 Reasons Why. Then I remembered having seen her as the girl in love with the gay boy in Love, Simon.
As far as seeing any naughty bits of hers in the show, nothing as of eight episodes in.
However, we did get to see Merlin's booty and Arthur's booty. Both are hot guys.

The ambiguity of the myths lend themselves well to being redone. I always enjoy seeing who and how merlin is played. Joseph Fiennes and Gustaf Skarsgard have been two inspired bits of casting. Otherwise, in both cases, meh. Two formulaic shows. One titty flick, one girlpower flick.

If I’m guessing correctly the direction the show is headed,
I like what the creators have done conceptually.
I’m even strangely fond of the young zealous nun who clearly has schizophrenia.

Okay, so I might have been wrong with my theory.
I finished watching the show.
Since I am not too familiar with the lore, I did recognize the two names spoken at the very end, but I am uncertain of what is happening. It seems the creators of the show have simply rearranged the entire timeline of the Arthurian Tale to create something entirely different. Therefore, what I had thought earlier could still be true, especially if what we thought we knew of this tale has been turned upside down.

It's safe for you because it's written by an atheist.
Nah he not prejudice . He's just not an apologist trying to paint a turd gold and call it an ingot like you and not Atheist Tom holland . So no Elvens understanding is fine and yours that is flawed . And there is nothing this revisionist pile of steaming feces can help other then helping apologist spread the lie Christianity contributed anything meaningful to civilization .

I think it’s a bit of a stretch to call Holland an atheist. ‘Secular Christian’ would be closer.

It’s hard for me to see Gustav as anything but Floki

Nimue is the lady of the lake, yeah. Arthur still needs to pull Claret from stone, lose it, meet Mordred, and return to Nimue for Excaliber. Plenty of time for the sword to make it's way back into her hands in the otherworld gate. The lake is not what it seems.

Oh yeah. you are DEFINITELY not a christian apologist.
That is very clear. I am certain you can quote Acquinas about that. Probably Origen as well. Stick in some Aristotle and Plato, why not.

I'll probably have to buy this series when it comes out on DVD or Blu-Ray.
