The Kingdom - Series Two
$29.98
"The Kingdom" Season 2, is the second installment in a trilogy that has no end. Lars Von Triers made "The Kingdom" with the intention that it would be a trilogy of mini-series, but unfortunately, after the second season, both Ernst-Hugo Jaregard (Dr. Helmer) and Kirsten Rolffes (Mrs. Drusse), that is, the two main actors, died, putting a stop to Season Three (and to be perfectly honest, I wouldn't like to see a season without these actors). As a result of this, few of the story lines introduced in Season 1 are resolved in Season 2, and the ending comprises a number of cliff-hangers that Von Triers, presumably, intended to resolve in Season 3.

Keeping that in mind, Season 2 of "The Kingdom" isn't bad. Season 2 starts off immediately after the end of Season 1: Dr. Helmer is back from Haiti with his zombie poison; Bondo has his sarcoma; Judith has just given birth to her monster baby; and a new set of spirits is now loose in the hospital for Mrs. Drusse to deal with. In my opinion, Season 1 was better, I found the first two episodes of Season 2 to be a bit tedious (I didn't like the sub-plot about Prof. Moesgaard seeking psychiatric help or the one about Judith and her baby, at all). However, the final two episodes more than make up for them, and by the end, I really did want to see more.

Highlights of this series include Dr. Hook turning into a patient-hating psychopath, after a rather unpleasant incident (I found Hook to be smug and self-righteous in Season 1, so really enjoyed this change of character); the revelation of Aage Kruger's true nature; ambulance racing; and a new mystery for Mrs Drusse to solve. There is also a greater focus on the occult in this season, and I found this season to be both sillier and scarier than the previous one.

Fans of "The Kingdom" Season 1, will definitely enjoy Season 2, but don't go in expecting a satisfactory conclusion or you'll be disappointed.

The Kingdom - Series One and Two
$44.98
Lars von Trier's TV show The Kingdom (Riget) is one of the best thing the Danish director has ever done. Funny. Exciting. Hilarious. Crazy. Scary.
If you have ever worked in a hospital you have to watch this show. The kingdom is not just the name of the hospital, but it is also all about the little kingdoms that exist within the walls of a hospital.
Since Twin Peaks there has never been a TV show that brilliantly mixes a ghost story and absurd comedy.

Kingdom of Heaven (Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]

I can watch this movie over and over again. It is wonderfully made, historically interesting, and insightful about a formulative era of the World's religions.
