Just finished watching the 13th episode of the first (and only) season of Kings. It’s a shame NBC cancelled this new refreshing series. But what to expect from executives? The first series in a long time with a fresh new plot, unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, amazing cinematography and actors. But, hey, no let’s cancel this, because it only ranks 4th every night!
For you who don’t know what Kings is: Kings is a series set in an alternative reality where there still are kings. The story follows king Silas, king of Gilboa. It practically is a modern re-enactment of the story of David (vs. Goliath). Now I’m no believer, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have to like this series.
It’s something new, something refreshing, no drama, no action, no fantasy, no western, it simply.. IS.
Oh well… maybe they’ll decide to make a second season sometime in the future, but until then, we can put it in one box with all the other amazing series that were Too Good To Last together with Firefly and many others…
In any case, if you ever get your hands on this, buy it, watch it, and write angry mails to NBC!
