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?
This was a really interesting series and it is a shame they have cancelled it. They could have gone on to do a lt more with the characters and stories.
This was a really great show. I’d love to see it come back on the air.
Loved the show! Hope it comes back! ‘
My wife and I have been looking forward to the second season of King and Maxwell with great anticipation. It was our favorite show. The scripts were intelligent and witty. The acting was sharp with amazing chemistry between the actors. It’s rare when a TV show can capture the essence of great novels. This one did. It was so nice see the novel characters come to life. Most similar attempts end up with TV characters who only share a name with their novel characters, not the essence of them (e.g. MASH, Rizzoli and Isles, etc.) PLEASE bring this show back.
Stupid, boring and flat shows last forever (Law & Order, Tango and Nash, any reality show). Intelligent, fun ones die young. American television sucks.
Want it back. Great show with great acting. Love it
very good show should be renewed
I Love the show and hope that TNT is smart enough to bring it back.

I love the show it should be brought back. So sad great shows being canceled.
