Credit where credit is due, in the fifth episode this is finally becoming watchable (more action, less Nimue). I’m becoming fond of Arthur-as-CEO: in this episode, we see the CEO take his rival CEO out for a couple rounds of golf (spear fishing) to suss each other out and do some bonding (result, an offer of mentoring in this whole being king thing). Highlights: terrific swordfighting and all out brawling between besties in trial by combat, with a sincere cinematic attempt to portray a scene in the rain almost realistically (hey, it counts). Major side eye: ‘sumer is icumen in’ was written in Wessex sometime in the thirteenth century, even in mythology it’s hard to believe that any self-respecting Dumnonian would be caught dead singing a Saxon roundel, oopsie.
