Prime Video’s HOUSE OF DAVID Is the No. 1 Show in America

Amazon Prime is releasing the first season of HOUSE OF DAVID, an epic TV series about the life of King David. Based on First Samuel in the Bible, Season One is a marvelous, engrossing, exciting depiction of David’s transition from shepherd boy to anointed ruler while King Saul descends into madness when the Prophet Samuel tells Saul that God has rejected him for disobedience.

HOUSE OF DAVID is strongly focused on the biblical record of David’s life. It portrays the events of David’s life as written in Scripture. It does take some storytelling liberties but still reflects the heart of Scripture. It’s masterfully shot in a convincingly historical setting, with some nice character arcs. The storyline is captivating and encapsulates the many intricacies of religion, politics, greed, passion, and purpose that occur as David rises to the throne. Some episodes of HOUSE OF DAVID have some scary moments and violence, including ancient soldiers fighting. So, MOVIEGUIDE® advises caution for older children.
