	concept from Kings is the story of David Shepherd, an idealistic soldier who is thrust into the heart of power by one act of heroism. After single-handedly defeating the enemies of his people, David is rewarded by being brought into the court of King Silas, monarch of the modern nation of Gilboa. David is initially dazzled by the pageantry and glamour of life among the royals, only to learn that the palace is teeming with deception. The young hero soon becomes a target for the deadly schemes of those vying for control of the kingdom. But he finds support from a beautiful princess, the king's own daughter... and their forbidden romance will launch David on a daring path to adventure. As the line between friends and enemies blurs, David must survive the treacherous corridors of power and forge a new destiny that will forever change the world. Kings takes place in a modern-day kingdom named Gilboa, and its shining metropolitan capital of Shiloh. It is ruled by King Benjamin Silas, the nation's much-loved monarch, who unified several warring territories to found Gilboa many years ago. They have since built a proud and prosperous nation. While not a perfect society, the kingdom is a beacon of hope and idealism.  stars Ian McShane (Deadwood), Christopher Egan (Resident Evil: Extinction), Allison Miller, Susanna Thompson (Once and Again) producers Michael Green, Erwin Stoff, Francis Lawrence studio Universal Media Studios

my take With Kings having a midseason launch, there aren't any clips available yet. That being said, I like the concept of creating a whole new country with it's own "stuff." Ian McShane is the show and I'll be watching for him. Too bad he won't be able to say, um, roosterfooler (think about it), like he did with such conviction on Deadwood. As its skedded now, it's in a decent slot, although The Unit on CBS could pull viewers.
