I am still a new viewer to Kingdom, my Dad was the fan of the show and I happened to watch an episode of it and have been hooked ever since.
One of the highlights of the show is the brilliant cast headed by the wonderful and hugely talented Stephen Fry (Peter Kingdom). He is the heart of the show with an amazing cast Karl Davies (Lyle, Peter's partner in the law practice), Celia Imrie (Gloria, Peter's secretary), Hermione Norris (Beatrice, Peter's sister), Tony Slattery (Sidney Snell, a client of Peter's), and Phyllida Law (Auriel, Peter's aunt).
Another highlight is the beautiful setting of the series, Norfolk is so lovely and it is nice to see a lot more of our lovely countryside that is not always shown in modern series.
Although there are some dark elements to it, being that at the start of the series, Peter thought his brother Simon was dead and then later in the second series he was killed off, it is still lighter than other programmes on TV and it is nice to get away from the grittiness of the world and watch a series that is cosy and entertaining. It is not so fluffy that it doesn't cover relevant issues but has the right blend of light and shade to the stories so people are not bogged down by the issues too much. I hope there will be more series of the show as it is a very enjoyable and warm programme to watch.
