TV show description:
This TV series is based on the best-selling books by author David Baldacci.
Sean King (Jon Tenney) and Michelle Maxwell (Rebecca Romijn) are unusual private investigators. Both of them used to be Secret Service agents, and their unique skills (not to mention their razor-sharp chemistry) give them a leg up on conventional law enforcement.
Maxwell is a former elite athlete who uses her brains, beauty and Beltway connections to solve cases. King’s career in the Secret Service ended when the presidential candidate he was assigned to protect was assassinated, sending him on a downward spiral.
Now, King has added a law degree to his arsenal of skills, allowing him to navigate the system in ways that a typical private investigator never could. Along the way, King and Maxwell clash over just about everything — from her garbage-strewn car to his love of wine over beer.
FBI Special Agents Rigby (Michael O’Keefe) and Carter (Chris Butler) frequently clash with King and Maxwell over their less-than-legal methods. Rigby is a veteran FBI agent with many years on the force and he always follows the rules, sticks to the facts and questions anyone who stands between him and the truth.
Carter is Agent Rigby’s junior partner and will likely go far in the agency. He works with whoever can help solve a case -– either standard law-enforcement organizations, like the police, or unconventional resources, like private investigators.
Helping the King and Maxwell team is Edgar Roy (Ryan Hurst). He joined their team after Sean King served as his lawyer during his highly publicized criminal case. Edgar is a high-functioning autistic savant who specializes in patterns and numerical sequences. He has certain work-space requirements, like sitting at a “friendly” desk and enjoying soup for lunch on Mondays.
Episode #10 — Pandora’s Box
Sean’s investigation of the Ritter assassination threatens to end his partnership with Michelle as she considers returning to the Secret Service. The shocking truth sends Sean back to the scene of the crime to prevent history from repeating itself.
First aired: August 12, 2013.
What do you think? Do you like the King & Maxwell TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Fun, fabulous show! One of our favorites. Renew, definitely!
great show — really entertaining!
My husband and I love this show the characters are wonderful !! Edgar is a great addition and he plays the part so well and I love the way he and Benny get along. Please renew this show!
GOOD SHOW SHOULD BE RENEWED.
Keep. I love it.
Great new show, fun to watch good cast of characters with nice interaction

Renew… Definitely! I love the way the 2 pairs are developing (King/Maxwell, Edgar/Benny). Not so sure about King’s obsession with his “mistake” (now conspiracy)… It might be good to just solve it, testify, and move on. It’s been done already, and too recently. Maxwell wants to rejoin secret service but something in the next case or season finale has to blow that chance up!! And it has to be HER CHOICE to do whatever it is fully knowing it would derail any chances of rejoining. (Maybe she intentionally sabotages her chances.) Love Edgar as he is and as he begins… Read more »
King and Maxwell is the best new show of the summer! The characters are so interesting from Edgar all the way to Rigby. I’ll be very disappointed if it isn’t renewed.
I love this show! King, Maxwell & Edgar are awesome. Please renew for 2. Find a way to make Benny a regular. More Christian Kane will be nice. I’d love to see where the King story leads, who wanted the senator dead?
This could be to TNT what Castle is to ABC. Don’t let this one get away ;-)!!!!
Your dialog regarding Dax! Why would any mother name a child Dax was offensive and not necessary.
This show is great fun to watch. Please don’t cancel it. The characters are just starting to develop their individual strengths. Beats the heck out of all the sex and violence on some other shows. Family friendly.
Maxwell was tougher in the book….banter is real good like on Castle, hope it is renewed
Very good, fun show because the characters work well together and Edgar is a great addition.
I really like King n Maxwell, hope it is renewed.
I think the show had real potential. The characters are fairly unique, except for TWO fatal flaws…King is too soft-too weak. Having the tough female may be expected/required in your target market, but a trained fed doesnt forget his pistol. King may be cute in LA & NYC, but most guys are tired of leading men who let their women fight/shoot. Let Maxwell get hurt due to his softness…impose an change of heart do he is still quirky, but harder in this area (Magnum PI?). Second flaw broke PIs are cliche; have Edgar solve the code to the lottery…more options… Read more »
