"Prosperity"

obligatory can't wait. I truly LOVED the pilot and have watched it twice more since last Sunday. I'm sure the show won't last with the abysmal ratings (why NBC opted for a two hour premiere opposite incredibly well established shows which were all new on a night that NBC traditionally has trouble - I won't ever understand).

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

Like the first ep and the vibe it created. Will definitely be watching this one.

So what did the daughter vow? Celibacy? Is she some sort of nun?

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

Enjoyed this episode as well, but I too don't think it'll last long with the ratings.:hairpull:

Maybe she agreed to marry for the good of the kingdom.

Terrific episode - a few bits can stretch things too far (brian cox with the gold for instance) but for some reason I enjoy even the most ridiculous moments - can't wait for the complete series box set.

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

I too wonder what the daughter promised. However, she is not even his daughter.

I liked last nights episode - the acting was fantastic as usual

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

Well it seems like last night's ratings were even worse, so it's not looking good. I hope NBC at least goes ahead and airs this season's episodes. Crossing my fingers. -pray-

If it fails on tv it will most likely finish on HULU.

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

ugh - watching on Hulu is terrible - still haven't adapted to seeing it on my computer - if it doesn't make it then I want DVDs ASAP.

I'm not watching this on my computer :(

Does NBC have a sister network on cable? or maybe they will air this during the summer.

There are more things here that don't work than work.
The things that don't work annoy me too much so i'm out.

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

^ that is remarkably non specific. Just curious about what people aren't enjoying about this show.

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

^Agreed. I know people are entitled to their own opinions, but I'd like to know what in this show "annoys" you so much to drop it.

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

I caught up w/ both eps tonight.

I like it - a lot.

Re: Kings -- "Prosperity" - 3/22/09
 

I just got caught up with this. Loving every minute of it. I hate that it is not doing well in the ratings. This is one of those rare tv events with great acting, great writing, great production, etc. Reminds me of Rome.

At least least they have filmed all of the this season's episodes, so we will get some sort of closure if it doesn't get picked up.

Was this show advertised as being the biblical story of Kings? The few ads I saw didn't seem to be mention it. I would have been watching earlier if I knew. Very ambitious project.

Great episode tonight!

Great cast, great acting, great sets, and great writing. I wish shows like this would do better in the ratings. I love trying to recognize all the reference to the King Saul/Jonathan/David story from the Bible.
