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?
It was such a good show, I can’t believe it was cancelled. I was looking forward to seeing it what was the network thinking. The network really needs to bring it back. I would rather watch that series than all the serial killer shows. I’m really getting tired of reality TV and all the shows glorifying killing and teen sex and unmarried parents. TV shows need to be more responsible. King and Maxwell was fun like psych. Both of my favorite series were cancelled for crappy shows. Please bring bag both shows I beg you.
Great show… Please Bring it Back!!!
What a shame! Great show. Bring it back!
I found that after watching a few episodes I like the show. Please bring it back!!!!!
Please bring this great show back! Interesting characters and storylines. Much better than many current shows on TV.
Bring it back Great Show!!!!
Please bring it back. It was a refreshing twist on romantic comedies. The character roles and the actors who played them were a breath of fresh air. King and Maxwell played off each other really well. I also “loved” Roy Hurst’s portrayal of the Edgar character. I was so impress to see him playing this roll. I had seen him in the movie Remember the Titans and he was really good in that but he is beyond excellent playing Edgar. It is hard to be good at playing an autistic person. It reminds me of Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.… Read more »
please bring it back pronto!!!
My wife and I really liked King and Maxwell. Thought it was the best show on television. PLEASE BRING IT BACK.
Are you kidding me?!??!? Ryan Hurst was brilliant on that show as Edgar. I followed him on Sons of Anarchy and was thrilled to see him resurface on this show. I agree that with all the other garbage on TV that this show was the one to suffer. TNT should advertise their shows on other channels…maybe they’ll get a larger audience.
Bring it back!!! There are too many copy cat shows out there and this one was funny!!
I agree…bring it back! One of the best of the series introduced last year. Really, really enjoyed the characters and would love to see how the whole situation is resolved. Left us hanging, guys!
bring it back I really liked it !!!!!!
This excellent series ended on a note that has to be continued .Good characters and story lines.As good a series as any others showing at the moment.
WHY!!!!!! This is a very entertaining AND funny aeries. There are so many shootem up series on why would this be cancelled? Just because it doesn”t have SEX AND GORE.
SHAME ON YOU! BRING IT BACK
