- So Why Is Kingdom The Best Zombie Series?
Now before you spam the comments, I understand that fast zombies are not a new concept in the genre. The reason why I classify Kingdom’s zombies as ‘fresh’ is because of their behavior and what makes them tick. Fresh ideas for zombies come few and far between, with the most common slotting into classic Romero slow-paced zombies or “Oh s**t they run...
Game of Zombies

It was a constant reminder of the threat Chang faced from the humans and not just zombies. The Prince’s subsequent actions lead to the head of the Cho clan seizing power for himself and using his daughter as a puppet queen. After the death of his son at the hands of the Chang, Cho’s last hope for his families legacy is the birth of a son by the queen. Meanwhile, the queen was scheming...
Horrifying Moments

What is most interesting is the fact that whomever the King feeds on does not turn into a zombie. The evidence for this was the shock from the physician that resurrected the King. The young man that was first torn apart by the king never turned into a zombie. Subsequent ladies of the court that were fed to the King also never turned. It wasn’t until...
You know a series is incredible when you must remind yourself you’re watching a show, not a movie. The only shows to make me feel that way were Game of Thrones and Band of Brothers, and right now, I am throwing Kingdom up there as one of the best shows I’ve seen in an incredibly long time. Season 1 is only the first half of this show, and I am alre...

Oct 25, 2023 · If that sounds more like a Game of Thrones plot than a zombie show, well, you’re right. Kingdom is really, at its core, a political thriller set in medieval times.
