King

Too many eggs in one basket. As enticing as Amy Price-Francis was in this show.. she was left carrying the weight of the entire series. And the 'relationships' with her several husbands, and a subordinate were never going to be enough to secure interest for a long time run for the series. Cop shows by nature are all pretty standard stuff.. the ones that survive through multiple seasons usually have numerous characters that the audience can latch onto. King never achieved this kind of storyline or character development, and was so one dimensional as to become unwatchable. Would really like to see Price-Francis again in a much more developed work, as she most definitely has the necessary allure and talent.

This series is excellent for viewers who don't require a high octane, non-stop action thriller! This ensemble of quality actors is excellent because it provides an intriguing look @ actual police procedures that Hollywood typically ignores in favor of fantastically ridiculous, over the top representations of how crimes are actually investigated! These screenplays, locations, dialogs and locations are more authentic than anything I've previously viewed. PRIME VIDEO doesn't offer the opportunity to rate this great series....thus it doesn't offer customer ratings....shame on AMAZON because this is a series to not be missed! I've really enjoyed season one and half of season two. Give this wonderful show a chance!

Love it! Please give me more! I'm in love with Jessica King! My kind of woman, smart, attractive, and type A! Very sad about her marriage! I really think that she wants it to work out, yet neither her or her hubby want to put in the work! They have long hours with their jobs and don't have enough time for each other! King solves all of her cases, largely by listening to her colleagues, intuition, and her gut! Really wish that she and all people have a more stable home life. Kudos to those that can rise above it! This show really has everything, IMO, and I really like Jessica's sister! Taylor is another great character!

I just caught this series in basic-cable syndication. Amy Price-Francis was perfectly cast as a smart, humanly flawed wise-ass detective. The crimes were solidly written; her team was mostly a plus, even though "Martin" was used too little.

Those elements would have warranted a higher rating and a longer run but for all the romantic subplots that burdened our star, and often exhausted my patience. Will she and Danny get pregnant? Will his gambling prove their undoing? Will one of her other admirers become hubby #4, or a steppingstone along the way? ALL those dangling tendrils detracted from the main stories and diminished Price-Francis' character.

I hope Ms. Price-Francis has been featured in more worthy vehicles since this one ended. I'll be looking for them.

The filming of this was well done with good montages that made it more interesting visually. There were some funny technical issues with the home DVD release that were in my opinion significant. My newish version of this program caused my DVD player to seize up and freeze. I'm thinking due to a low quality pressing. Stuff like that makes most people-myself included- not pursue watching the other discs. I've never seen such a serious technical issue before and I've watched hundreds of things including DVD's that are quite old-relatively speaking. The lead actress is strong but the rest of them are perhaps just not given much to demonstrate their acting skills adequately and as a result the show suffers from a certain amount of blandness despite the clever use of artsy colorful montages. I thought it was 'not bad' but could have been better-maybe not hugely better-but it could have had more humor-there wasn't much humor in it which rendered it kind of astringent viewing at times.
