Kingdom 2019

Following a filmography can take you down some dark paths. Following Bae Doo-na (Doona), I found myself in a Zombie series, not my cup of tea, but I persevered. The cult infatuation for creatures resurrected to follow their bloodlust for human flesh is a mystery to me. But, like the child in a room of manure, I went looking for the pony. What did Doona see in this series that lead her to sign on? Her character doesn’t rise from the background until the last couple of episodes in season 1 and becomes pivotal in season 2. Besides a zombie project, this series stretches to be a socio-political history project with moral lessons about responsible governance. I appreciated the political drama pieces and would rate them as 7 (good) but the zombie-centric episodes did not speak to me at all 5 (meh). The zombie/horror enthusiasts are rating this 9 and 10, (cross between GAME OF THRONES and THE WALKING DEAD). I can see their respect for special effects and historical setting. The gore and fascination with revived dead doesn’t click with me so I can’t rate it above a 6 (hidden quality) out of 10. [Horror Period Political Drama]
