NBC's new show; KINGS

Kings new tv show by nbc

NBC has a new show airing every Sunday night that I thought was worth mentioning called Kings. It uses the story of King David to see what the world might look like today if we had Kings ruling instead of voted in politicians. The show has everyone from the biblical story; David, King Saul, Samuel, even Joab; except in this version their wearing suits instead of tunics and shooting guns instead of swords.

King David is arguably my favorite character in the bible and to see a modern re-telling of his life through this show so far was very interesting (and surprisingly well done). Granted there has only been 1 2-hour episode the show is oozing with potential and worth checking out. The creator of the shows, whether Christian or not, obviously understand main elements of the story and their audience; including God as major player in the story, giving quick witty references to the original story, and even having Jars of Clay featured in their soundtrack. Already the show is rumored to be in jeopardy based on low ratings last week but if given a season or two how cool would it be to see a modern retelling of an Old Testament story?

If you’re interested in the show check out Relevant Magazine’s review of it, Hulu.com for the first 2-hour long episode, and give it a shot Sunday night, 8pm, on NBC. And as always; leave us a comment and let us know what you thought!
