Netflix fans say overlooked show is 'what Game of Thrones should've been'

viewers can't seem to get enough of a certain underrated TV show available on the streaming service.

The drama series first premiered in 2019, followed by another season the subsequent year and a special episode in 2021 to conclude the narrative.

Set in the tumultuous 17th century, the plot revolves around a zombie outbreak wreaking havoc amidst warfare and civil unrest in Korea.

The infection even reaches the Royal family, leading to uncertainty over the line of succession and ensuing power struggles.

While some characters are embroiled in Machiavellian scheming and political manoeuvring, others discover a cure for the lethal virus, reports .

The series boasts an impressive 98 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 92 percent viewer rating.

This Korean Netflix series has drawn comparisons to The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones due to its extensive narrative and horrifying zombies.

The historical setting lends Kingdom a unique appeal, distinguishing it from other TV shows and films within the zombie genre.

One viewer took to Rotten Tomatoes to comment: "THIS IS WHAT GAME OF THRONES SEASON 8 SHOULDVE BEEN. If GoT season 8 was done right this is what it wouldve looked like.

"Very good show, great pacing, great story telling, keeps you on the edge of your seat. Highly recommend [sic]."

Another added: "Kingdom is proof that the zombie genre still has hope, after correcting the mistakes of the Walking Dead in just 2 seasons."

One fan enthused: "Character depth goes DEEP, however unlike the Walking Dead, it still manages to show the horror of the zombies and the power hungry humans."

Raving about the production, they added: "Cast performance is outstanding, but this doesn't show unless you have Korean audio on."

In their opinion, those who criticise the production just aren't doing it right, saying: "People who say 'The script and dialogue deliverance sucks' are the people who have english audio on. Korean audio is mandatory, subtitles help [sic]."

A third fan wholeheartedly agreed, urging: "If you're thinking about watching this, just do it already. It's a fantastic story with great action and characters, a really well made show."
