View Details Critic Reviews for Kingdom Season 1 All Critics (14) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (13) | Rotten (1) As the epidemic widens in scope, unleashing tsunamis of sprinting zombies on the land, Kingdom turns into a mordantly funny epic about how large-scale governmental mismanagement is amplified by class inequities. Mar 15, 2019 | Full Review… Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture Top Critic It's one of the best zombie shows I've ever seen, and a refreshing change after writing about The Walking Dead for so many years. Mar 13, 2020 | Full Review… Erik Kain Forbes The scares build slowly, but the drawn-out scenes add to the suspense -- even if you see what's coming in the end. Mar 13, 2020 | Full Review… Aloysius Low CNET Kingdom works well because it tells an interesting story woven around the zombies, and it's a welcome change from "post-apocalyptic group X goes to war with post-apocalyptic group Y while zombies attack both sides. Mar 13, 2020 | Full Review… Paul Tassi Forbes The show is pretty dense, but it's so exciting, and, at only six episodes, the plot moves swiftly as the characters find themselves deeper and deeper in trouble. Mar 13, 2020 | Full Review… Emma Stefansky Thrillist Apart from the closing chapter of a show about dragons and thrones, I can't imagine anything else on television making this big an impression on me this year. Mar 13, 2020 | Full Review… Jimmy Donnellan Cultured Vultures A magnetic series. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 26, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Alberto Carlos Espinof An exciting horror show that paces itself wonderfully and sets up the plague zombie outbreak beautifully. Mar 15, 2019 | Full Review… Ja-Quan Greene Black Nerd Problems In an over-saturated sub-genre, this show takes common horror tropes and rewrites zombie rules for Joseon Korea in a way that reinvigorates my love of the sub-genre. Feb 26, 2019 | Rating: 10/10 | Full Review… Kate Sánchez But Why Tho? A Geek Community Kingdom's structure is engaging, if well-worn, and ultimately satisfying. Feb 6, 2019 | Full Review… Jacob Oller Paste Magazine In terms of writing, each of the main characters is entirely nondescript at best, a fatal flaw for any television show. Feb 6, 2019 | Rating: B- | Full Review… Jonathan Christian The Playlist Kingdom is a better zombie drama for a few reasons, but primarily because it ratchets up the horror aspects of its undead. Feb 6, 2019 | Full Review… Renaldo Matadeen CBR View All Critic Reviews (14) Audience Reviews for Kingdom: Season 1 Jul 26, 2020 Breakneck historical zombie killing. Everything from the pacing and action sequences to the costumes and score is on point. Zack F Jun 29, 2020 Es fantástica la serie de verdad merece la tercera temporada, logra mezclar con éxito lo político,terrorífico y sobre todo la acción dentro de la misma. Mario D Jun 13, 2020 World War Z Meets Ancient Korea. Lots of Zombies. Must Watch Saiprasad S Jun 07, 2020 #Zombiebased series , first of a kind am seeing where zombies are shown at kingdom period. i just binge watched it. whole series keeps you awake. it gets little deviated with internal politics . but gets back to you the #horror #action #drama . storyline gets you gripped.. making is good . actors done a good job, so the director. overall a binge watch zombie series. definite for #zombielovers Arun K May 29, 2020 Outstanding. If there's a series that has more action then lead me to it. Photography brilliant, screenplay first class and a plot that keeps moving at lightning pace. Mediaeval Korea is certainly where it's at. Hold on, a virus, and governmental bickering - who would have thought it. Alan D May 20, 2020 Exciting of each episode, binge watching choice. Connie Y Apr 11, 2020 Just brilliant. Aesthetically perfect with great acting and pace. I prefer the non-dubbed version for the beautifully sounding dialogue. Iben A Apr 09, 2020 Amazing show! The only downside is the long wait for season 2 after that epic cliffhanger! Michael S Apr 08, 2020 It's a master piece! I love the fact that it fits in so many genres. Even though it lacks a bit of romance everything else makes up for it. I like the fact that it addresses issues related to human desires. It has so much of symbolism and the graphics are beyond amazing. It's over all a master piece, as good as parasite. Angel W Apr 06, 2020 Simply tremendous. Kingdom is superior to the Walking Dead is many aspects. While the first two episodes suffer from slow pacing issues, the action and set pieces are creative and enthralling. Kingdom manages to balance political intrigue while keeping the undead terrifying and dangerous.
