The Ultimate Reason for Kings

1986 · 1 season

A slow, talky political thriller that feels cold and cynical, watching powerful men scheme while ideals quietly rot.

Created by
Viktor Kisin
Genres
War & politics, Mystery
Overview
The plot centers on a large-scale conspiracy by a group of US military personnel, led by General James Scott, against the current President Jordan Lyman. Further events show that the President, who sent his closest aides and friends to investigate, easily and almost indifferently accepts the news of their deaths, because he is only interested in his own person.
How it feels
Tense, cynical, dark and melancholic. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
