NBC gave a pre-release of it’s new television show Kings. This show is from a writer on Heroes and follows the biblical story of David, Goliath and King Saul of Israel.
Taking place in an alternate universe where King Saul has become Silas and Goliath has become a tank, we watch the two-hour pilot and try to figure out if this will work.
Some of the religiously-minded people will give a tiny smile at the references given to the biblical narrative, however this version has taken extreme creative liscenses.
Having saved Silas’ son, David is thrown in front of the nation as a hero who blew up a Goliath tank.
There are characters jockying for position and we are never sure if Silas is sincere or just a manipulative miser.
This was just the first showing and I’m going to have to deal with at least a month’s worth of episodes to figure out if I want to spend time with this show.
