Kingdom Audience Reviews

Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
eskyy_16 I think this show was a masterpiece, now I know not everyone will agree with me but this show had it all. I got told to watch it, here I was thinking, eh just another mma show, seen them all. Watched one episode and I was hooked. This show has it all, from action, to some comedy, romance, drama, heartbreak. Each season takes a dark turn somewhere that either leaves you angry and cursing or breaking down in tears. Sad to see this show finish up, fair enough there was some bad camera work, and some poor acting at times, but you push past that & watch for the plot, not even for the fighting, just watch it for the characters development, rise and fall. Jay's character, Jonathan Tucker, what a great actor, played a riveting part and was truly superb in every aspect, kind hearted but crazy. Lots of people rating it for the fighting being rather poor or not enough. If anyone wants to watch it and happens across my comment, don't watch it based on the fights, watch it for the characters. One of my favorite shows and a truly excellent piece.
julesfdelorme Kingdom Season 3 Try this little thought experiment. Try it with your friends. List off a handful of the extant TV shows that you considered truly great. Now see how many of them you can say had endings that were truly great. It seems to be a kind of inverse and perverse rule that the greatest shows cannot have great endings. Even Seinfeld had one truly horrible episode and that was the very last one. Some just seem incapable of maintaining their quality and fizzle out. Some, like Deadwood, have the rug pulled out from underneath them before they can bring about any kind of ending. Some, like the Sopranos or Lost, cannot possibly deliver in one episode or even one final season what took them so much time to build up. Even the exceptions to this rule, like the Mary Tyler Moore Show, are so incredibly rare that they only seem to prove the rule. Kingdom, in all the glory of its brief 3 seasons, is one of those oh so rare exceptions. It was a harrowing show to watch right down to its pitch perfect ending. It went well above and beyond being a show about Mixed Martial Arts, lifted by brilliant writing and acting and strong, almost film quality production value. I've written about this show before, and am still thwarted by my inability to convey just how great it really is, and now how great its ending is. This is a true ensemble cast and there is no no misstep, not even one false moment in the acting or in the writing. This is an ending that is both terrible and wonderful to watch because there is nothing about it that is not earned. The final season is made even more poignant for MMA fans in that it involves the legendary Matt Hughes, who is still in recovery from a recent car accident. Hughes stands among that small list of champions which will without a doubt be considered part of the UFC's golden age. While the title holders of today may be more well rounded and boast a more complete game, Hughes will be remembered along such names as Randy Couture and Rich Franklin as one of those rare moments in the fight game when character truly did seem to win out and the better man really did seem to get his hand raised. How special Hughes was is evidenced by the outpouring of love from the entire community, even from Hughes' opponents, when that terrible accident took place and the gasp of relief that we all felt when we heard that he was conscious and able to squeeze his doctor's hand. It seems exactly right that Hughes should appear in this fine show's finale. In fact, everything about this finale felt exactly right. I am still amazed at what a superb and brave performance that Nick Jonas, a pop star, is able to give in this show. I am still surprised at how unflinchingly honest the show is able to remain. And no one who watches this show or the too quickly cancelled The Black Donnellys has any doubt that Jonathan Tucker is as good an actor as anybody out there on Television or in Film. At some point Hollywood is going to get a clue and see that Tucker has a magnetism and power that takes you far beyond an appearance that is not typical surface pretty. When he is let loose he can steal scenes from the best actors out there. He also seems to have an internal compass that does not allow him to give a single false moment or to indulge in the obvious and easy emotions that we have been conditioned to expect. Maybe the only good thing about Kingdom coming to an end is that so many wonderful actors, writers and directors are now free to try other things. Well, perhaps that and that this show is given an opportunity to end in such a perfect way rather than fizzling out or having the rug pulled out all of a sudden. If you haven't watched Kingdom yet, I truly envy your opportunity to discover it now. If you haven't watched Kingdom all the way to the end yet then I can truly tell you that the best is yet to come. For those of us who have watched this show all the way through, it will live in our memories as one of those oh so rare exceptions to the rule. Kingdom, all three seasons of it, is as close to perfect pitch as we are ever likely to find. And I for one am looking forward to watching it all over again, from beginning to end.
shoguncrosse I came into this series thinking it was going to be just another fight series that will fail; be decent but fail...I was dead wrong. Jonathan Tucker shines in this series and I would be quite surprised if he didn't get offered big starring movie roles more often...The rest of the cast also all show off their acting chops and make this world believable, and very emotional. Season 2, episode 10 was the only episode of any series I have ever watched that literally made me shed tears (no real spoilers, but Jon Tucker and Nick Jonas, bravo!)10/10 (Hmmm, Jonthan Tucker's 'crazy n zaniness' character and his acting make me have a man crush! uh-oh! lmao)
onlyeesgirl My boyfriend and I love watching different shows and are always finding new ones to watch. He found this show randomly and we decided to try it. Overall, it is one of the best shows I've ever seen, if not the best, and there are only 2 seasons so far. Don't be fooled by the mma idea because you don't have to be interested in mma to love the show. You will fall in love with each and every character because they are so well developed. All the actors are incredibly good and fit their character perfectly. Each episode has some huge event that leaves you heartbroken or in awe and almost impossible not to watch another episode. It is crazy to me that this show isn't a huge hit but Breaking Bad is. I don't ever write reviews but this show was so good that I had to.
