Don't worry - I thought the same thing! I even heard the words in Uhtreds voice.
Loved that show. I dropped off around season 2 though. The first season was great but when he became constantly neutered by Alfred's loyalty baptisms I got bored.
My wife and I just finished the last season and are now starting the movie wrap-up, and I've been pretty engrossed the whole time.
But it's definitely a little frustrating when the protagonist consistently gets either outwitted or otherwise trapped by a character with his own agenda, but I will say that I don't think the writing is bad, as the characters consistently act in their own interest and in the interest of the people/ideals they care about. And season 2 does introduce some pretty good characters and has some pretty good major plot points, so you might give another try if you liked season 1.
OTOH, it's your life; don't waste it watching a show that doesn't hold your interest!
