Anyone else check this out. I just started watching it. No idea what is really about. Is it supposed to be if US had a King. Anyways, really excited cause Kareem Sayid from OZ just showed up. So if he is a main character I will certainly be more interested.

Kings is a television drama series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dramatic_programming) airing on NBC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBC) and Citytv (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citytv), based on the biblical story of King David (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_David) but set in the present. It premiered on March 15, 2009.

Interesting concept.

I expected Ian McShane to be crazy bastard like he was in Death Race. Instead he was rather mellow except for one or two spots.

The other guy I thought for sure was Ryan Phillippe. (sp?)

Kings is a great show. I am already hooked on it. There are so many good storylines that can grow and develop. Ian McShane as King Silas is a perfect choice and I do like the biblical story as the main idea. Chris Egan does a great job in the show. I think he will get better as it goes along. The daughter is pretty hot, and the son reminds me of Adrien from Nip/Tuck in the manner in which he acts. My favorite character is Silas. I like his docile attitude, but you can tell when he is really passionate about something. I look forward to it this weekend. The episode this week brought in a bunch of new storylines. I also am interested to see what the actor from Lord of War; he played Andre Baptiste Sr in that but is the reverend in this. I wonder if he wants to take over and create a theocracy and make the monarchy a simple figurehead.

Great show, although I expected it to be a little bit "edgyer", not sure why. But 3 epidoes in and it's shaping up to be a winner (so it will probably get the arse)

I only knew about it after I caught Ian McShane on The Daily Show

Yeah, society just doesn't attract to anything worth dick anymore.

Reality TV and cop dramas. Thats about it.

Well, this just went on life support.

NBC pulled it for duration of the fall season. Gonna give it another go in the summer.

It looked interesting, haven't seen it though. I read somewhere that they already moved its time slot to Saturday or something, which essentially confirmed that it was being canceled.

Fuck I hate TV, how can this show be off the air and shit like The Simpsons still crank out the same shit season after season.
