My reaction was similar. I am okay with Gwen being black... but I think making her a maid smacks a whole lot of progressive out of that casting move.
the clothes really bug me though. I hate that they altered everything to look more modernly relatable. There are ways to make period clothing look currently appealing and stay true to itself. Your icon is an example.
I know! And Morgana talking about being a tease! Would not happen, because at that point in time, being a tease would get you raped!
I've talked with other people who love it, and it's like the historical inaccuracies are the acid test of whether you love it or not - can you get over them all being the same age and in camalot together and it being this alternate universe... or not.
Plus, whether or not you want to hit Merlin until he's dead.
