PFSIKH Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Anyone watch "Kings" this past Sunday? I am curious about after seeing Ian McShane was a part of it. Any reviews? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Jet Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Anyone watch "Kings" this past Sunday? I am curious about after seeing Ian McShane was a part of it. Any reviews? Good? Bad? Indifferent? Thanks. Good thread PFSIKH . I had thought about it but the promos just did nothing for me so I passed on it. I'm interested to see what others thought as well. Maybe I'll jump in mid stream.

Bob Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Looks like crap to me, despite McShane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borgoguy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I watched the first hour or so and was bored by it. It's basically a soap opera trying to be edgy. I won't seek it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of the show before but loved McShane in Deadwood. When I saw the thread, I thought I had missed a good show, but it doesn't sound as if I did. Too bad.

The show wasn't horrible or anything, just nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlag Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I watched the last hour and a half and will be tuning into next weeks. They could do a lot of cool things with the story. I saw that borgo quit after an hour but he should of stuck around because I think the second half picked up and really started to turn the wheels of the story. I'd say tune in and give it a shot. It has a Shakespearian feel to it which is certainly a good thing. There are a lot of things at work, power from god vs. power from money, war vs. peace, father vs. son, rich vs. poor, and plenty of more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I tuned in because anything with Ian McShane is worth a try in my book. Eh, it was Al Swearengen Light as expected. No great shakes. They're really hyping it as if it's this big, deep premise, and it's just a boring and kitschy take on Davey & Goliath. David & Goliath. Whatever. Some of it was just plain hokey. The crown of butterflies was godawful, and the battlefield scene where the guy reasons with the enemy. Haha, get a job. They would have shot his face off, and because they didn't, I wanted to shoot all of them. C- all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started slow, but it picked up as Lag said. I do not know about the D&G reference, but the potential plot between King Silas, his brother-in-law and King Silas' son could be interesting.

Jetlag Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Agreed. I thought this second episode showed some really good progression. I'm started to think this could be a winner. One problem I had was, how is the King's daughter out in public and it's like no one recognizes her? Shepherds mom doesn't seem to notice either.
