    "Perfect"

    An epic way of retelling an epic story. I was hooked as soon as I saw the pilot, and the episodes just keeps getting better. The cast is selected with such great care, they do an atonishing job. The chemistry between Ian Mcshane and Christopher Egan, and between the latter and allisson miller (Silas - David, David - Michelle), is overwhelming. Immaculate acting, with deep, profound insight in the emotions of the different characters and their own personal struggles (Susanna Thomson, Sebastian Stan, etc etc).
    One of the best series I have ever seen, by far.moreless

    I really liked this show too. The writers was very well written and was powerfully delivered by the actors; most of all the character King Silas(and Jack's character was cleverly written as well) It was a bummer to find out that the series was not to return; I actually didn't start watching the show until I think episode 7 'Javelin' and then the following ep and I was completely hooked and had to catch up online ( thank you tv.com ) and start from the beginning because it was so good. I hope they bring it back. I'd like to see where they had planned to go with the story since David retreated into Gath.moreless

    GREAT SHOW One of the Best shows. If we all do this "together mountains can move." Spread the "swarm of butterflies"



    This is what happened to KINGS

    it aired(March 15 2009 in US) on Sundays for only 4 episodes. It was very popular and it begun with HIGH ratings. After that it disappeared for a few weeks and resumed on Saturdays. It aired its final 8 episodes and Few followed through its new timing. This caused EXTREMELY low ratings.

    People say that it wasn't good because it received low ratings BUT the overall content of KINGS was good, amazing. If you don't believe me watch the episodes.moreless

    Already being committed to too many shows this season, I grudgingly agreed to give this show a shot on a week to week basis. Unfortunately, I found myself completely hooked by the second hour of this 2 hour premier. I love the characters and the actors who play them. Ian McShane is one of my personal favorites -- I loved him in Deadwood and think he is just brilliant in Kings. Christopher Egan also plays his character brilliantly and I look forward to seeing how his character progresses through the series.

    My main concern, however, is NBC's lack of confidence and commitment to their new shows, and consequently the fans that devote their time to them. I hope that they at least give this show a chance and see it through the initial 13 episodes they have ordered.moreless

  • Brilliant story line

    "Perfect"
    By nsv, Jun 12, 2010 Report Abuse
    This show is to be compared with The Sopranos and Dexter. The season premiere was brilliant with a very strong story line. The show is based on the Biblical story of David, so obviously the kingdom is shook up when a young soldier named David Shepherd (Christopher Egan) rescues Jack from behind enemy lines, and is photographed standing up against a tank in the process. The tank is called Goliath, in case you're still behind on the reference. The striking image ends the ongoing war with Gath immediately, and farm boy David is whisked away to a series of parties and press conferences in Shiloh. By the end of the pilot he has been commissioned as the military's official spokesperson, despite Silas's suspicions that David is a potential usurper of the throne. If you've read the Bible, you know Silas will probably be proven right.

    If you have not seen the show yet, please do yourself a favor and watch it. Since joining this site and watching many shows, I truly believe Kings is one of my personal favorite.moreless
