The story promises to take us behind the scenes of a family that runs an evangelical empire in Argentina and the dark secrets they hide behind so much power and wealth. However, despite having a potentially intriguing plot, the series leaves much to be desired.
One of the biggest problems is its slow and monotonous pace. The dialogues are tedious and mostly absurd, which creates a lot of distance between one and the story. In addition, the characters are shallow and uninteresting, making it impossible for the viewer to empathize with them.
Another recurring and somewhat embarrassing problem is the exaggerated portrayal of the lives of powerful characters, especially those in the world of politics. The series focuses too much on spurious negotiations worthy of a cartoon, which ends up being tiring and unrealistic. The plot is also predictable, with twists you can see coming a mile away and unnecessary scenes that seem to be included just to create some interest, failing miserably.
In addition, the show presents a superficial view of Argentina, coming across as vulgar and simplistic. The characters are presented as stereotypes and the series fails to capture the complexity and richness of the local culture.
In conclusion, this is such a poorly made product that it fails to meet the minimum expectations. If you are looking for an original and intelligent series, you will probably be more than disappointed with "The Kingdom".
