Been watching this recently and I have to say, I love it. When I first heard about it I was kinda meh about it, but now I can't wait for the next episode. For those of you who haven't heard about it yet:

Kings is set in the Kingdom of Gilboa, which technologically and culturally resembles the present-day United States; the government, however, is an absolute monarchy. Gilboa is ruled by King Silas Benjamin, who originally formed the united kingdom two decades prior from the three warring countries of Gilboa, Carmel, and Selah. He believes his power to be divine, often citing a day when a swarm of butterflies once landed on his head in the form of "a living crown" which called upon him to form the kingdom.

It stars the utterly awesome Ian McShane as the King and the whole series is very biblical without it being thrown in your face too much.

If you can get hold of it (from the normal sources) then give it a go, you might be pleasantly surprised.
