So did you watch Kings and is it a glorified soap opera?

I have to watch for a bit longer to make it a determination..

Dynasty or Dallas genre mixed with Shakespearean tragedy.

But, so far it has been entertaining. Surprisingly (considering it is on NBC), it has had little (so far) in the way of agenda. I did notice a possible line or two in the first episode, but it wasn't overt.

Briefly,

Queen's brother bankrupts the treasury because he is in a pissing contest with King, as Captain (outsider/hero) romances the King's daughter, and the King's son plays the playboy as a cover.

I like it, so far. :)
