Critic Reviews
Kingdom Review: Zombies, Royal Rot and the Best Undead Series in Years
★★★★½
Kingdom transplants the zombie outbreak to Korea's Joseon era, fusing sumptuous period intrigue with relentless undead horror — a lavish, politically pointed genre triumph that reinvents a tired form.
A gorgeous, terrifying reinvention of the zombie drama — smart about power and hunger, and thrillingly staged. Essential genre television.
