I really liked their gradual introduction to the theme and the zombies but this kind of introduction felt too long and lasted for several episodes without any pieces moving in the story. It was a bit obvious this was done on purpose to delay progress for Season 2. Meanwhile, Season 2 took a step back and tried to develop its characters even though there was no room for that. Although Kingdom as a whole is relatively short but it needed a more precise cut to suit what we've been presented. Maybe cutting it down to 8 episodes in total would be ideal. The slow atmospheric shots with eerie background music were pleasant at first, but they quickly became overused to death and an abrupt change was needed but never happened. The movie Ashin of the North was an unnecessary addition that felt empty, out of place and was missing something to make us care. In traditional Netflix fashion, always make sure to lay the groundwork for endless possible future seasons/iterations at the end of every turn. Despicable greed!

:man:‍⚖ Review : If you love zombies and are on the hunt for something fresh, you cannot go wrong with Kingdom.

Kingdom is a Netflix Original South Korean horror series written by Kim Eun-hee. The series is based on the book Land of the Gods, which was also written by Kim Eun-hee. First arriving in 2019, the horror series has since become one of the most popular non-English titles available to stream on Netflix.

Beautifully presented and dripping in Asian culture, zombie action-thriller Kingdom is quite the thrill ride. With a exceptional screenplay and beautiful production value this show has all the indegrients for an engrossing binge watch.

The zombies are appropriately inexorable, and resemble Train to Busan in terms of falling over themselves while chasing the living. These are not sluggish walkers of The Walking Dead. The visual style is unique, and makeup effects are also good. The gore looks pretty much real, and there is oodles of it here.

Season 1:
Split across six hour-long episodes, Kingdom effortlessly blends political drama with a thrilling action plot, full of beautifully shot set pieces. Brutal action sequences, engaging drama and horrifying zombies make this show a must watch. Brilliant Direction and Extraordinary Performances by the Cast makes it extremely worth your time.

Season 2:

Season 2 raises the bar more and is bigger and better. Proves the mettle of Korean storytelling in this genre.
