So, 'The Making of King Arthur' is this intriguing documentary that really digs into the Arthurian legend, which is usually wrapped up in heroism and chivalry. Poet Simon Armitage takes you on a journey through medieval literature, peeking behind the curtain of what we think we know about King Arthur. It's not your typical portrayal; instead of a noble hero, you get this complex character who was kind of co-opted by the Normans. The pacing is reflective, which allows you to soak in the nuances of the legend's evolution. Armitage’s delivery is engaging, blending poetic insights with historical context, making it distinct in how it examines the mythos rather than just retelling the legend.
