Forbes ^ | 04/03/2025 | Paul Tassi

House of David has just aired its season 1 finale on Amazon Prime Video, proving to be a hugely popular show that almost no one is talking about in traditional media circles. But it’s #2 on Amazon’s top 10 shows list, behind only Reacher season 3 which also just aired its finale. House of David is putting up numbers ahead of the new season of The Wheel of Time and the most recent season of Invincible, and for a fraction of the cost.

KEYWORDS:
I am generally a huge critic of Bible-based shows. However, this series has been engaging from the outset with fairly good production elements. It's good to see how well received it is.

it’s not even Biblically sound. Sad

Enjoyed their portrayal of Samuel’s challenge to Jesse: “Sacrifice your very best.”

“ it’s not even Biblically sound. Sad”

It does paint a good picture of the people. David, Samuel , Saul .
It’s then up to us to get in our Bibles and read the actual story.

The disclaimer admits that some fill-in parts added for dramatic effect; other parts may have been provided by Jewish commentary and history. For the most I appreciate that it is devoid of sickly sentimentality.

Might be some interest in Jewish traditional story of Jesse’s doubts about his own lineage due to his descent from Moabite Ruth which caused doubts about David:

I still love The Story of Ruth movie from the 60’s. It too added in some parts for dramatic effect but was mostly true to the word.

It’s a pretty crappy show and Goliath is already dead so I hardly see the point.

No, it leads up to Goliath being killed. We haven’t finished watching it, so I don’t know if that happens at the end of Season One, or if they intend to drag it out. They do take liberties at times, with the chronology of the Biblical story, but they admit that some things are rearranged or filled in to further the story line. For the most part, we think it’s excellent.
