KINGS!!

[erastes]

OMG - How good is KINGS? Why isn't anyone else watching it? Is it because it's not got Vampires and Zombies in it?

It's got a GAY PRINCE who is so angsty he could step into any fanfic I've ever read and rule it.

It’s got McAuley Culkin (however you spell it, as a Nevil Nephew who’s so NEVIL we haven’t even been told what he did to be banished.

It's got a probably going insane King of AU America who is a fantastic ambiguous character,

it's got political machinations, Church vs State, a young blond pretender (who doesn't know he's a pretender) and OMG so much GOODNESS!!!! *FLAIL*  Thank GOD for internet viewing of NBC, that’s all I can say, because if we ever get this—despite having the rockinging rock god Ian McShane in the lead role—it’ll be years, and I’m addicted. (this of course means it won’t get renewed.)

Possibly I love it so much because of being English and this is what Kings were before *spits* Oliver Cromwell, Divine Right and all that – utterly compelling to be brought up to date imho.

Anyone watching it, and wanna squee?  No spoilers though as I’m only on episode 5….

On another note, because I am stupid and forgot to get batteries for my remote, I’m stuck with five channels.  What is more boring? Wimbledon Final or El Cid?  It’s a close one…
