BBC series Merlin was a little like this. King Uther hated magic, Prince Arthur was kinda against it because he was told it was dangerous, but didn't exactly hate it himself. Meanwhile Merlin took a job as a servant, doing magic-y things to protect him. Wasn't a great series (writing), but it had enjoyable aspects.

I mean, it got 5 full seasons. It wasn’t terrible by any means.

Having a lot of seasons means it was popular enough to warrant them. Not that it's quality. One would hope they correlate but IDK how well it actually does. You've got plenty of people who say the Big Bang Theory is shit and it ran for 11 seasons. As someone who watched it I'd say it was no better than average.

I say this as someone who knows little more about this show other than it exists.
