King & Maxwell

Jon Tenney fresh from being an FBI agent and married to Kyra Sedgwick in The Closer and Rebecca Romjin fresh from being married to John Stamos in real life co-star in a new television King&Maxwell. The two are former Secret Service agents who had two tragedies break on them while on the job. Now they're private detectives and in addition Tenney is a lawyer.

Being both a PI and an attorney opens up a whole lot of story possibilities. Tenney can be a lawyer and he can have Romjin do his investigating and occasionally lend her a hand. On The Closer Tenney was a recovering alcoholic and he continues in the same guise here.

Romjin and Tenney looked comfortable working together. Working out of WAshington, DC also opens up all kinds of possibilities for political intrigue in their cases as well.

I hope the show finds an audience.

Great show, love the lead characters Kate and Sean as well as Edgar. Also like the continuation of exploring the past with Sean and Edgar continuing to blossom in role. Also really like the humor with mystery. Jon Tenney is so likable,strong and sexy. Each episode has been consistently interesting, with a surprise in each one. Not sure where going with delving into the shooting that caused him to leave Secret Service but would be great to see the mystery solved and his continuation as Private Eye. 10 lines of text for a review is a lot for me. Usually like to use quick comments of reaction rather than going deep into explanations of why I like something. I like this show, think the critics are wrong in panning it and look forward to watching this each week, along with Major Crimes. Like the Closer as well and Major Crimes is great follow up.

Okay, I have read all the books and came to know about this TNT series when I was on my last book. I was pleasantly surprised that how good the show was. The chemistry between King and Maxwell shown in the show was very close to the actual chemistry portrayed in the books. It was a very good show and I would have liked to see a bit more of it so kind of gutted that TNT has already pulled the plug on it. They should have given it at least one more season because in this season we did see how Sean lost his job but there was not much back story on Michelle and how they became King and Maxwell. The episode with JT Maxwell was my favourite, it was not a storyline from books but still the addition of JT in the mix was very good. It is annoying to see that some shows are on air for multiple seasons but an entertaining show like this has already been axed. It was a great watch and to see two of my favourite book characters on TV screen.

Ton Tenney and Rebecca Romjin made very good co-stars in this short lived series. They seems to gel quite well and with time even more chemistry could be found.

Interesting stories, well directed and acted. It would have been nice to give this series a bit more time.

Recommended.

David Baldacci is one of my favorite authors and I have read everything he's written. However, I had no idea that one of his series had been made into a TV show, so I was totally surprised when I happened to accidentally stumble upon it. First of all, when a book has been made into a movie or TV show, very rarely does the video coincide with the mental visuals you had in your head while reading the book itself. As I was watching the episode, my mind was scrambling to figure out which book it was and what was going to happen and I was mentally comparing the actors to the version I had in my head of the book characters. What I enjoyed the most from Baldacci books isn't the plot--hasn't it all been done before? But it's the characterization that pulls me in. Although I've only seen one episode, I'll keep watching to see if the actors can establish the same relationship. And, secondly, why wasn't this series advertised more? For pete's sake, this series is based on a very successful author's work--advertise it so that people know it's there. You shouldn't have to stumble upon it.
