Kings

Anyone going to watch this? The premise sounds interesting.

I was planning to watch simply because Ian McShane is in it (this is the same reason I watched Death Race). Didn't actually pay any attention to the premise of the show.

Just thought it was a "travails of the political elite" soap opera but I've just now looked it up and am more intrigued.

Here's hoping that NBC has decided that "**********" is acceptable for prime time network television.

Well, that doesn't bode well if it isn't even acceptable for LoT.

Not Afraid · 03-15-2009, 06:13 PM

Well, I watched the "preview" and don't understand what it is about. That's my relationship with TV these days.

Ian McShane would be my only reason as well.

If I watched TV.

The idea of a modern nation with kings with real power did intrigue me, but the commercials I've seen play up the temptations of power angle, and I'm really not interested in that.

I think queens make for far more entertainment value.

Made it 40 minutes in before turning it off. Will try to finish another night and see if I just wasn't in the mood for it.

Oh. I thought this was a thread about hockey.

/backs away now.

Oh, um the TV show. Ya, interesting premise. Keeping with my "must make it through 1 season before I'll watch it" mantra I'll have to wait and see.

I made it through the whole two hours. Meh... I might watch to see if it gets better. Then again, I might not.
