I have to admit - I really, really enjoyed Kings. Maybe it's the Alt-History buff in me, maybe it's the fact that I've been a huge fan of Ian McShane since Deadwood, but the series really worked well for me.

For alt-history fans, I think there was a lot to be curious about here. The show dropped a very obvious "marker" that this Earth - the use of music from Liszt and the direct mention of his name. I took from that clue that whatever changed in this timeline happened in the early twentieth century - perhaps specifically in the European continent. Certainly it is clear the Kingdon (Gilboa) occupies American soil - but probably not all of it.

I also found it interesting how we saw so little of the enemy and how David asks if they are truly so different from them. It alludes to some vast cultural divide between the Kingdoms. Well, not sure if the other enemies (early on they mention 2 enemies I believe) are Kingdoms - they mentioned the title of the leader of Gath, but I can't remember it offhand. It was definitely not King though.

Either way - fun show. It is on my auto-record list. Anyone else enjoy it?
