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. Go to Full Review Jae-Ha Kim Jae-Ha Kim 07/28/2023

g j Jan 24 A monumentally lavish effort that is without precedent in the fantasy genre in terms of scale, quality and consistency. This show absolutely laughs at the very best of what its western contemporaries have to offer. See more Vanda J @vadajasmine Jan 19 The best zombie tv show out there. See more David L. @davd777 Aug 10 Great zombie show, I enjoyed it See more Krzysztof N Jul 5 One of the best zombie lores ever created. The zombies are fast and have been appropriately adapted to fit the world and the story, which turned out great. What I like most is that the lore itself is logical and free of plot holes. The only downside for me is the lack of morally "grey" characters. Unfortunately, everyone here is either clearly good or bad, although I did enjoy the background stories for each character. See more G P @Gi.Pi 10/18/2024 Absolutely brilliant. Thanks so much for a fabulous show. 👌 See more Isaac M 10/01/2024 If you're thinking about watching this, just do it already. It's a fantastic story with great action and characters, a really well made show. See more Read all reviews
