Wow

So I just watched the “Kings” premiere on Hulu.com. I really think it’s terrific, I whole-heartedly endorse it. Word around the campfire is that it had a really rocky start in the ratings department, which doesn’t surprise me, because the ad campaign did little to inform potential viewers of the brilliant concept (modernization of the Book of Kings) at play, nor of the inspired, elegant execution. I fear for the future of this compelling series, but oh well, some of the greatest television of all time was prematurely canceled. It is the way of things.

Mom and dad, Brady and Holly, Caroline, anyone else with a love for the Word, you in particular need to watch this. As avid Bible readers, like myself, you will get an absolute thrill from seeing the source material treated with such reverence and creativity. They’re loyal to the original story, but also playful and inspired, creating a delightful spin on a classic. I have little but positive things to say. Here’s the link. Watch it.

And to answer your question before you ask it: Yes, they maintain God’s primary role in the story. Incredible.
