	Author	Review
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"A scattered, superficial narrative that doesn’t gain much traction. Despite the efforts of the varied cast and the show’s directors (...) those looking for either biblical education or soapy thrills are likely to end up praying for deliverance."	NEG
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"It’s 'Game of Thrones' with less scheming and fantasy. It’s 'Spartacus' with half the gratuitous violence and considerably less sex. It’s 'The Bible' without much Bible."	NEU
United States	Rob Lowman Los Angeles Daily News	"The story of David has always fascinated because it contains so many universal dramatic and psychological elements. This is not the worst version of the tale, just a pedestrian one."	NEU
United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"You can be forgiven for not immediately recognizing the Biblical king, lost as he is in the muddled cheesefest that is ABC’s 'Of Kings and Prophets'. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"There are moments when 'Of Kings and Prophets' seems sincere and very timely in its examination of the tense and historically troubling relationship between politics and religion (...) But those moments are few and far between."	NEU
