The idea behind "KINGS" is a great one. The biblical story of David told in a modern setting sounds great. But the production of this modern day telling is very lacking. It was difficult to understand how modern nations, at war, were limited to WWI type trench warfare, with WWII type tanks, but with 21st Century communications and crystal clear battlefield television. It didn't make any sense. Also, the Royal Family is completely and totally repulsive. The producers and writers of this show should be congratulated for providing some television drama that is different from the overload of police procedurals. But is is difficult to see how very many viewers could return to watch more episodes of a show that has several unlikeable characters and a plot that requires much more thought than almost any other drama on the air. It is somewhat reminiscent of the new "Battlestar Galactica" in dramatic intrigue but lacks Galactica's human characterizations. Nice try though.
