Words fail.
So, it's 4 a.m. and I've yet to go to sleep. Why? I started watching the first episode of Kings on Hulu. Upon starting the episode I could not stop watching. Having viewed the entire first episode I say without hyperbole that Kings is the greatest television show ever.
Wikipedia describes the show as "the Biblical story of King David but set in a fictional kingdom resembling the present-day United States". Ok, now to that foundation add West Wing, a rags to riches Prince and the Pauper esque main character who is the audience's vehicle into the series, Sopranoes-esque psychological intrigue into the impact of power upon a flawed family unit, Allison Miller, and a dialog structure which properly utilizes the royal we.
Watch this show. No, I don't care what you are doing. Watch this damn show. Watch it now. Shut up! Watch this fucking show.
One who lives life without watching this episode of Kings will have lived an incomplete life.
Note: I'm pretty drunk and sleep deprived. So I may revoke this upon awakening to realize that the flag of the nation of Gilboa has a butterfly on it. That being said: WATCH THIS FUCKING SHOW!
