“The Table Round follows the immortal legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Season One was tightly focused on Arthur trying to unite the Britons under his rule, while Season Two followed Arthur’s wedding and the subsequent skirmishes that cropped up across the kingdom.
The Table Round is at its strongest when it aims to tie the historical into its narrative. Each episode features a stinger at the end that provides some context for the story, which works not only as a narrative aid but also as a teaching tool. The lead actors on the show are also great, and all show a great dedication to bringing these roles to life.
That’s not to say the show is perfect. Early episodes show a learning curve on mixing and microphone quality, and the second season feels slower than the first after Arthur’s main quest is complete. But it’s great when you can hear a show (especially an independent show) grow and change overtime, and on the whole, The Table Round is great fun that offers a good adaptation of this classic tale that everyone can enjoy.
