This show is rather intelligent setting up alot of things for another season in the first 4 eps especially the last ep with the mystery of who is the woman in that photo. I notice one review mentioning how the prince was considered "evil" some what for his sexual preference. In my mind it dosen't matter and I find his evil/bad actions to be the result of his character, he's an irresponsible playboy shopaholic who believes daddy will make it all bette, dose that seem right to be the next king or good as character? however how the king has skipped over the son and favor David is unfair even if his son is in his mid 20's you still need to show some favoritism toward your own flesh and blood. See this could turn into a debate about a side character. Symbolism is a great way of showing alot of this, you notice when it comes to David he never once directly mentions good it's mainly Silas and his ex-priest. This series could have take interesting turns if it was renewed for another season. I believe it came out at a bad time if it was on during the third season of heroes which was negatively received by fans and at the same time moved to Saturday which I believe Kings if was right after Heroes we would see a second season on the way with talk of a third.
