Pendragon Cycle:
https://wng.org/arti...ycle-1768268141
Conservative media company The Daily Wire is known for political news and commentary, Matt Walsh’s deadpan but scathing documentaries, and some entertainment options—if you count Jordan Peterson’s parenting series as entertainment. But if you’re looking to escape the 24/7 news cycle with an epic fantasy adventure, you have to flip the channel to HBO Max, Disney, or Netflix, right?
Not so fast with the remote. The Pendragon Cycle: Rise of the Merlin, based on Stephen R. Lawhead’s historical fantasy books, is a spellbinding new live-action TV series on Daily Wire+ that matches the major streaming platforms’ best productions in visuals and storytelling—but with less objectionable content than fantasy sagas like the ever-popular Game of Thrones and its many spinoffs and knockoffs. Jeremy Boreing, who co-founded The Daily Wire in 2015 with Ben Shapiro and served as co-CEO until last year, directs The Pendragon Cycle and is one of its writers. Lawhead is credited as an executive producer.
First 2 Episodes of Daily Wire’s ‘Pendragon’ Series Will Leave Audiences Wanting More
Stephen R. Lawhead’s retelling of the classic King Arthur story isn’t afraid to present the rise of Christianity in Britain, and the first two episodes of The Daily Wire’s new series, “Pendragon: Rise of the Merlin,” brings that story to life—and will leave audiences wanting more.
From majestic views of Britain, to arresting scenes of Merlin’s mother “dancing” with bulls in the mythical city of Atlantis, to spiritual battles surrounding Merlin’s father, the first two episodes present a fantasy world on par with “The Lord of the Rings” or “Game of Thrones,” but more grounded in history.
Merlin’s father Taliesin, played brilliantly by James Arden, emerges as a spiritual warrior, rejecting Britain’s pagan past and accepting the gospel of Jesus. Merlin’s mother Charis, brought to life by Rose Reid, unites an English clan with the survivors of a lost Atlantis.
