Synopsis

Kingdom is a British television series produced by Parallel Film and Television Productions for the ITV network. It was created by Simon Wheeler and stars Stephen Fry as Peter Kingdom, a Norfolk solicitor who is coping with family, colleagues, and the strange locals who come to him for legal assistance. The series also starred Hermione Norris, Celia Imrie, Karl Davies, Phyllida Law and Tony Slattery. The first series of six one-hour episodes was aired in 2007 and averaged six million viewers per week. Despite a mid-series ratings dip, the executive chairman of ITV praised the programme and ordered a second series, which was filmed in 2007 and broadcast in January and February 2008. Filming on the third series ran from July to September 2008 for broadcast from 7 June 2009. Stephen Fry announced on his blog in October 2009 that ITV was cancelling the series, which was later confirmed by the channel, which said that given tighter budgets, more expensive productions were being cut.

Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
deedeemac-89251 Beautiful scenery, mystery, family dysfunction wonderful main character. Great show. The apprentice Lyle played by Karl Davies is sweet and funny as is the lead Pete Kingdom played by Stephen Fry. Stephen Fry's character can make you laugh or bring you to almost tears. I was sorry to be the canceled after the 3rd season.
Bowsummit You heard it first from Canada......For those of us who have "motored" on to the last episode Or, as we sometimes say in Canada....the last round-up......The question left unanswered is who were Peter's parents.......Few if any clues were provided......And the series was cancelled leaving all of us wondering......Canada is providing an answer........Aunt Auriel is actually Peter's mother....Just an outstanding series....Live on Peter Kingdom !!!!

Robert Baumann There are only 18 episodes of this series. I am a bit disappointed with that as the last episode ends with an unresolved cliffhanger. I doubt they are going to go back and add to the series so there are some unknowns that we are left with. :( That being said, the acting is fine and the stories told are refreshingly British. It is a great alternative to USA network television. Those reviewers here who found some of the characters a bit grating are right, but I think that is just a device used to make the Fry character appear patient. They did mellow out Mr. Snegg as the series went on. I guess if you like Doc Martin you'll enjoy Kingdom. The opening sky-high camera shots show how beautiful the scenery is.
smallrage1 What a good little show this is, I was surprised to see there was a decline in the shows popularity in the UK maybe it was because Peter found his nuisance of a brother in season 2.I really wished Simon hadn't shown up it would of left some intrigue but other than that it's nice to see life in a little township as opposed to the hustle and bustle of the big city. This is why I highly recommend watching this show it's really nice to see life as it should be which is laid back and slow paced. I rather enjoyed it and give this a high 8 just because it really lets you get away from it all What I can't understand is every television show that is shown in the UK only has about 6 episodes to them and it takes such a long time to produce them. My only guess to such little production rate is they're too busy with tea time than work time.
