Looks can be deceiving. Peter Kingdom seems to have everything -- he's a man of some standing in the seaside town of Market Shipborough, he dresses well and has all the trappings of success. Why, then, does he wander along the beach and stare out to sea for hours at a time? Despite Peter's thriving legal practice, he must deal with his dysfunctional family (which includes his unstable sister) and his grief over his missing half brother and law partner, Simon.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

It may be a little dated in its portrayal of women, but Kingdom offers a new, well-acted take on the boxing genre.

Kingdom isn't the next great television show about sports. It's just a really great television show. Go to Full Review Nancy DeWolf Smith Wall Street Journal 10/10/2014
Byron Balasco has created a drama about punching power which can still locate heat and intimacy in the small act of a woman removing a man's boxing gloves. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 10/09/2014

The performances are good, and the show offers an interesting glimpse of a world that hasn't been dramatized all that often, despite the sport's popularity. Go to Full Review Dan Buffa KSDK News (St. Louis) 11/10/2020
Welcome to "The Sopranos" that takes place in a gym...look, I championed this series as much as any living soul in America. Go to Full Review Roger Catlin rogercatlin.com 10/08/2014
The gritty, dire, drug-addicting side stories mute and dull the intended impact. Makes Ray Donovan seem like Shakespeare. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/15/2019 i felt it was the best series I have watched in a long time. The time period drama is spot on with great characters, scenery, etc. but the zombies way on another level... I though the Walking dead ones were good but wow, these are ona whole new level.... fantastic.. the outdated on the portrayal of women is a stupid comment, in that era that is how woman were living. So if you want to make it different, then make it a modern movie, not a time period drama.. See more 08/04/2017 Tough, gritty, and compelling. My wife and I just binge-watched the first two seasons and were hooked by the time the third and final season started. Just watched the series finale this week, and must say that I've seldom seen a series that evoked such a visceral experience for me. I'm actually despondent with the realization that this AMAZING series has already come to an end. Highest recommendation I can provide! GREAT show! See more 07/07/2017 One of the best tv shows I've seen. Excellent character development of a broken family fighting for survival in a very difficult world. 2 great actors in Frank Grillo and Jonathan Tucker. Very realistic and brutally honest. Why this show is ending this year 2017 final season is very disappointing. Tough to find better acted and interesting characters in tv series. See more 07/31/2016 Excellent character development! See more 07/02/2016 If you like mma, Frank grillo, and knowing that everyone's life is complicated...what else can I say? And the character Jay Kulina...steals the show. See more 10/20/2015 A well acted, compelling look inside the world of MMA through the prism of an extremely dysfunctional family. See more Read all reviews
