King & Maxwell

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.

Just watched all the episodes and we loved it. We read all of Baldacci's books and this was very close to what I pictured when reading. To bad this was cancelled while other series survive. This is comparable in quality with Bones which as been on air for what.. ten years? The idea of keeping Edgar in the story and making him a permanent fixture was brilliant. Ryan Hurst was unbelievable and his unexpected teaming up with Benny (I don't recall reading about her in the books, nor Rigby and Carter for that matter) was charming and very entertaining.

Bring it back!!

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.

I've read all the books from David Baldacci about these two. Great books by the way. The series is good but really needs to be about 2 hours long for more in-depth story line that these two deserve. The first episode was not that good. The 2nd was better as was the third. The fourth one nailed it. Hence the summary…give it another try…it's a lot better as they move along. Jon Tenney as Sean King is very in-line with Baldacci's concept. Rebecca Romijn as Michelle Maxwell is even better!! Ryan Hurst as Edgar Roy makes this even better as they explore his past and he helps Sean King deal with his past...you have to check out the fourth episode as it becomes more interesting!

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.
