Kingdom

Right now you can watch Kingdom in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video — and it holds up to as much attention as you give it. The 3-season run is exactly the right length for what it is doing. 133 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Frank Grillo sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Kingdom earns its spot. Kingdom trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. A raw family drama set against the world of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in Venice, California. Alvey Kulina owns Navy St. MMA with the help of his girlfriend Lisa Prince. Frank Grillo and Jonathan Tucker lead a cast doing genuinely serious work here. The series ran for 3 seasons (2014–2017), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly. What elevates Kingdom is a refusal to let any character off the hook too easily. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, Kingdom delivers. Half Man is the obvious comparison, but Kingdom earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Frank Grillo is the centre of it, and it is one of their strongest performances on record. The patience it asks of you early on is paid back with interest.

Kingdom wrapped up in 2017, created by Byron Balasco — and 3 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
