Couple of month back I am searching for a show to watch. Then, I started watching Merlin series. I am able to watch the whole series in less then 2 months. It is not that the show is awesome. But, the most awaiting part of the series is to know when will Arthur know the secret of Merlin. For that I have waited till the last episode. Before going through why I didn't like the ending, the reason I liked the show is, most of the episodes have an ending. They don't carryforward to next episodes. The show also spends good amount of time developing the characters. How Lady Morgana became so evil, how Gwen goes from being a servant to Queen, and most importantly how the bond between Merlin and Arthur develops. The friendship between Merlin and Arthur is the backbone of the show. Without which the show would have been a flop.
Coming back to the reason I didn't like the ending is, they decided to kill King Arthur and the most powerful sorcerer in the world is not able to do anything. There are many instances in the series when important characters were saved at last minute using magic. I don't understand why they have to kill Arthur during the last 5 minutes of the show. It would have been wonderful if they have shown Merlin getting proper recognition and magic being accepted. Considering that this show is not something like Game of Thrones and the kind of audiences for this show are different. That would have been better.
This is only my personal opinion. I am sure the writers would have thought through this. A happy ending for a show like this might have been nice.
