There’s been quite a bit of talk about NBC’s upcoming drama series Kings. The series, which is set to air with a two-hour premiere this Sunday night, takes viewers to a fictional world where the drama reigns high. We’ve got some video clips from the series premiere as well as a description provided by NBC for those of you who aren’t sure whether or not this series is right for you.
I was on the fence as far as my interest went on this show. It’s gotten a lot of good hype, but that alone isn’t enough to make me want to invest two hours of my Sunday night. These video clips did, however, pique my interest in the series.

We’ll have a review of the premiere posted soon. In the meantime, check out Katey’s write-up of the Kings set visit here. And Doug discusses the potential problems with creating an alternate world as it relates to Kings here.
NBC’s description of Kings:
“King Silas Benjamin (Golden Globe winner Ian McShane, Deadwood) is the well-entrenched king of Gilboa, whose flag bears a divine butterfly symbol. Gilboa has its capital in Shiloh, a clean new city that is unspoiled by time or litter. Silas must deal with the tensions rising between Gilboa and neighboring nation Gath. When several prisoners of war are taken, a young soldier, David Shepherd (Chris Egan, Eragon), defies orders and crosses enemy lines to save them. Unknown to David, the soldier he saves is Jack Benjamin (Sebastian Stan, The Covenant), the son of the king. From that day forth, David’s life will never be the same. Also starring Susanna Thompson, Allison Miller, Wes Studi, Eamonn Walker and Dylan Baker.”
Kings premieres on Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
