Yes, they managed to hit the reset button right at the start of each new season of Merlin, which made less and less sense with each passing year. Too bad; there is some heartbreakingly beautiful fanfic, both friendship and Arthur/Merlin that deals with their relationship amazingly.

As for Camelot, I was mostly put off by the unlikeable main characters. Still, the motivation of Camelot's Morgan was a hundred times more convincing than that of Merlin's Morgana.
