J_Cook 0 #1 March 17, 2009 Did anyone else watch the premier of Kings (Sunday at 8pm)? It's easily one of the best shows on TV right now but no one knows about it because of NBC's lack of promotion If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend you seeking it out before it goes off the air due to lack of an audience.

Thanatos340 1 #4 March 17, 2009 I watched it and it was ok. I really like Ian McShane as an Actor but he is basically playing Al Swearengen in a suit. I kept waiting for him to say "Cocksucker" the entire episodeLots of possibilities with the show but in general I felt the writing was weak. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J_Cook 0 #5 March 17, 2009 I have to agree with you on that point. Unless it's a on a cable network, writing on TV shows has been sub par the past few years. I guess they need to dumb it down to appeal to a broader audience. Compared to everything else NBC, CBS, ABC and Fox put on the air, though, it's some of the better writing on right now.

riddler 0 #7 March 26, 2009 Based on your recommendation, I watched the first episode, and found it to be a very good television program. The writing is extremely well done. The acting is mixed - the older actors definitely do a better job. This is the first time I've seen Ian McShane (I rarely watch television), and I find him a very compelling "king". I also really like Eamonn Walker as the modern religious figurehead who counsels the heads of state. In most scenes, he demonstrates his faith, but he also encourages the young Private that he likes to enjoy the alcohol and women that are competing for him, something that old-school spiritual leaders would vilify as encouraging sin. Idealism gives way to amoral cronyism for this character, and demonstrates the hypocrisy of human fallibility that many religious leaders characterize. I look forward to watching future episodes, and that's unusual for me, since I don't even have television or cable reception. The last television show that I watched on DVD was HBO's Rome, and it's been a couple of years. Edit for spellingTrapped on the surface of a sphere.

J_Cook 0 #9 July 20, 2009 NBC might have changed their minds on canceling this show. They changed the next episode from being the series finale to just a season finale. It's looking like it might get picked up as a summer show. Keep your fingers crossed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
