Didn't see another thread about this Amazon Prime show. Just watched the latest Reacher and happened to see this listed as a new show, though I had heard nothing about it.

Just watched the first episode and was very impressed with the production value and story so far. I've also thought it was a travesty we haven't gotten a live action telling of David's life. The first three episodes are currently available, so looking forward to continuing on. If anything, I definitely want to support a series like this as long as it isn't bad. Want to make sure Hollywood knows stories like these are worth making.

Honestly, my only complaint after the first episode is that it's in English. With the short scene of David singing in Hebrew, I kind of wish the entire show were in Hebrew.

There was a kinda sorta retelling of David's life with the very short lived show "Kings" on NBC in the late 2000s. It was the story of David set in modern times. If memory serves, it wasn't completely horrible, it just never caught on.

Anyway, thanks for the review. I have been curious about this ever since it popped up on Prime.

I remember King's, I liked it.

Kings was a pretty good show because it offered a modern take on the rise of David. This one looks terrible.

It's like the Amazon studio heads told the data analytics guy to tweak the algo so House of David would ensure the show capturers viewers who liked Shogun and GoT yet are OK with a fan-fiction portrayal of one of the Bible's most known stories.

It's produced by the same company who did The Chosen.

Saw the trailer for this last night. Looks interesting enough to give it a watch. Of course, I'm familiar with the story of David, from Goliath to Bathsheeba and his place in the lineage that led to Christ Jesus. I'm normally not going to trust Hollywood with anything remotely Christian, but given that I have enjoyed what I saw of The Chosen, I am hopeful that the story of David will be done as per the Biblical stories, at least as much as possible.
