Kingdom

Season1 A series that deserves much more success. A season 1 too short unfortunately, but six intense episodes. The cast plays very well (there is Bae Doona, an actress whom I like very much!), The characters are interesting, the concept of zombie apocalypse in a medieval era and very well found, and the political intrigues add to the tension all the way. The best zombie show I have seen, personally. A beautiful little South Korean masterpiece that has nothing to envy to big Hollywood productions. ....................... Season 2 Kingdom doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it does add new twists to the zombie mythology by introducing the quasi-vampiric nature of its flesh-eaters.

What can I say? Netflix does it again! Great directing, writing, and acting; overall cinematography is 10/10. Can't wait already for Season 2!

Thanku Netflix for being global and introducing us to a different filmmaking schools other than Hollywood. WE the non-American viewers are sick and tired from hollywood's films that shows Americans trying to save the planet all the time. But thanks to Netflix we can see different and more beautiful art by (Korea, Spain, Italy, etc. ).

This show is amazing in many ways. It is estetically gorgeus, has got a great plot, good acting, and so on. But most of all, it speaks about our society more than one could believe: it is about migration, about the happy few exploiting a large mass of people in misery and in starvation, leaving them out of their lands again and again, as if they were just garbage. I think this is one of the best zombie thing of the last few years because it talks about now, truly folllowing Romero's path.

SHOW IS CANCELLED, THERE WON'T BE A SEASON 3

So here's the deal, I just read this and I wanted to share with people since I enjoyed this show: Netflix owns the IP for Kingdom, and in SK they tend to sell different productions around IPs they own like web novel adaptation, musicals, theatre, you name it they do it, only so they can actually make money out of the IP. Netflix - and this came straight from the creators - denied their request to have the IP expand within SK market, maybe even international market considering how successful and popular this series was, so they weren't making money out of Kingdom, so why would the creators keep focusing on an IP that isn't worth the hassle since Netflix can flat out stop them from making money?

That is how the series was "cancelled" without being cancelled, Netflix has 0 interest in cancelling the show because it is popular and they make money from it, but the creators don't have interest because they can't expand their adaptations and actually make money out of it, so Netflix washes their hands, you won't see any news like "Netflix cancels popular series" because by contract they place the whole responsibility on the creators. Such a shame because it was a very unique IP.
