Epic. Grandiose. Superb. Just a few adjectives that can describe the first episode of NBC’s ambitious new drama Kings.
The first episode, titled “Goliath” set the stage for what appears to be another greatly concepted freshman season of an NBC show.
If you haven’t heard about the show yet, it is a modern interpretation of the biblical story of King David. Chris Egan plays David Shepard, a soldier who saves the son of King Silas (Ian McShane). And just like that, the modest farm boy becomes the center of attention of the Kingdom of Gilboa.
And even though the rise of King David has a pretty rigid structure, the show seems to offer up just the right loose interpretation such that there are many possibilities in where it could go. And I’m excited to watch.
You can watch the first episode in its entirety below:
