5.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting, brilliant, September 2, 2009

This review is from: Kingdom: Series 1 (Region 2) (DVD)

I was immediately drawn in by the brilliant actors, quirky characters, and great stories of this British legal series. You can find the first year's episodes on Hulu (as of Sept 1, 2009), and they are a delight!

Stephen Fry is terrific as the series anchor, with Karl Davies, Celia Imrie, Hermione Norris, Tony Slattery, and Phyllida Law rounding out the amazing cast. There's chemistry here! I don't really care about the underlying mystery that starts the series, but the small dramas that trouble the residents of the town are intriguing, and the solutions are satisfying.

I watched series one on Hulu, and invested in series two. Both are delightful, and I hope there's more coming.

This review is from: Kingdom: Series 1 (Region 2) (DVD)

Worth the price, however, where is season 1 for US viewers? It's a wee bit confusing when one hasn't seen the first 6 episodes.

This series is amazing. It captures a lot of different human qualities and manages to combine intrigue with cultural idosynchrocies in an amusing and interesting way. I've just finished Season 1 and I want more! Really a great series.
