‘Kings’ Premiere Available for Free
NBC’s new show ‘Kings’ has intrigued me… the biggest selling points of it for me are that it stars Ian McShane (Al Swearengen from ‘Deadwood’)… we spent part of the weekend trying to explain the appeal and charm of Al Swearengen to someone, and likely failed.
The show is an alternate-universe modern retelling of the biblical story of David (replete with Goliath tanks). While I don’t have much need in my life for retellings of bible stories, the pieces fell together to make this one look interesting to me.
The show has received critical acclaim while, unfortunately, not many people seem to have watched the premiere. It’s still sitting on our DVR as we haven’t had a chance to watch it yet either, but I’m looking forward to some high quality Ian McShane time, even if it will be weird that he’s not swearing up a storm.Amazon has the series premiere of the new show ‘Kings’ available for free. Amazon’s video service allows you to view under Windows or MacOS X, download to Windows (and supported Windows Media Player devices), and stream video on demand to Tivo Series 2, 3 and HD boxes as well as Roku boxes and other devices. The Roku boxes are particularly cool; cheap, small little boxes that currently support both Amazon and Netflix video streaming. We have one and I’ll write more about it someday soon.
iTunes also has “Goliath”, the pilot episode of ‘Kings’, available as a free download for those of you who want to watch it on your Apple eco-system hardware.
