Season 1 Reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
Tim Goodman
Frankly, what seems even more sacrilegious than hewing ABC-close to a religious story is the notion that maybe Of Kings and Prophets wants to be like HBO's Game of Thrones.
Uncle Barky
Ed Bark
Kings and Prophets for the most part is deadly serious in both its approach and intent. It sounds strange to say its time has passed.
TV Line
Rebecca Iannucci
Let's put it this way: If the newly released Game of Thrones trailer won't tide you over until the HBO drama's return, Of Kings and Prophets would make a decent substitute, if only it didn't take itself so seriously.
USA Today
Robert Bianco
A TV show that uses biblical characters as an excuse for sex and violence while jettisoning the religious intent is not Bible-based in any real sense of the idea. Or worth watching, Saul or not.
TV.com
Noel Kirkpatrick
Of Kings and Prophets wasn't all that interesting as things stand right now.
WORLD
Megan Basham
Of Kings and Prophets takes this dramatic event and superimposes a tiresome modern motivation.
Variety
Maureen Ryan
Of Kings and Prophets tries to build a complete world and sustain an intense momentum, but it never manages to get a sure, steady grasp of its overall narrative goals.
AV Club
Erik Adams
With its many moving parts never quite working in unison, Of Kings And Prophets plays the game of thrones and neither wins nor dies.
Common Sense Media
Melissa Camacho
Soapy Bible story drama is racy, over-the-top violent.
Boston Herald
Mark A. Perigard
This odd retelling of one of the Bible's most familiar tales could win converts.
Los Angeles Times
Mary McNamara
The result overall is certainly less biblical, in the traditional sense, but it's also far from epic.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
More to the point, the effort to substitute standard-issue television intrigue and sizzle for the sweep and wonderment of the source material fails.
IGN Movies
Max Nicholson
It does have a few things going for it, including high production values and intriguing political and religious themes.
Yahoo! TV
Ken Tucker
Watching, you feel as though its story is just familiar enough to seem inevitable whenever it's not tedious, and its earnestness short-circuits any electrical charge of wit or sexiness.
io9.com
Alex Cranz
Of Kings and Prophets is also deeply, profoundly, confusing from a "what is the point of this" perspective.
Entertainment Weekly
Jeff Jensen
Of Kings and Prophets is a bit Moses-y: It points to a promised land of resonant, high quality religio-pop, but doesn't quite reach it.
We Got This Covered
Mitchel Broussard
There's sex, blood, and soapy intrigue; yet while Of Kings And Prophets is a far better stab at this kind of Biblical tale than most limp entries, the series loses coherence with discouraging haste.
Boston Globe
Isaac Feldberg
It's more like a descendant of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, made just modest and melodramatic enough to irk both faith-based audiences and those coming to it in search of a salacious, sanguinary fix.
Newsday
Verne Gay
A good-looking TV production - filmed in South Africa - but with minimal appeal to either the sword-and-sandal crowd or the faith-based one.
