Review of Kingdom

Kingdom (2014–2017)
5/10
An honest review. .
11 January 2021
I have been a big MMA fan since the early 90's. So, I decided to give this a shot. This is really more a drama based around a fictitious family and co workers than MMA. Everyone is broken and confused. Pick your disfunction, drug addiction, prostitution, alcoholism, gangs, sexual identity disorder, nihilism, etc, etc. They are overly abundant in this fictional world. I found myself fast forwarding through a lot of the ridiculous drama in hopes of getting to the inside view of MMA. It was a long wait as the actual fighting and training really are a minor sub-plot. One high spot. The musical score is very good throughout. Also, cool to see some of the real MMA guest stars (ex, Kenny Florian) popping up on some episodes. In the end I was disappointed in the show as a whole. Too much disfunction and not enough MMA.
