I really enjoyed the first episode of Kings: the writing mostly stayed on the right side of bombastic portentousness; the acting ranged from good to pretty awesome; Heathus's doppelganger managed to be more than a poor man's Heathus; there was twice the RDI of close-talking; the production design is interesting and I'm loving the cabinet room; it has Al fucking Swearengen and Kareem fucking Said of the teeth-gritted delivery and Dylan fucking Baker of the pinpoint pupils; there's a few interesting plotlines and it feels nicely epic; it's a freaking Bible AU! The one thing that brought me out of it the most was that the daughter looks about fifteen, but oh well.
