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?
Very wrong to have been cancelled. My husband and I loved to watch this show. Some
other series should have been AXED instead. Very disappointed in USA Network.
I very much like the King and Maxwell show. I wish it was going to have a second season and continue from there. It is a fresh change from the other detective shows. There is no extreme violence and the characters mesh together nicely and I find it very enjoyable to watch. Please bring it back.
I’m very sad this was cancelled!! This was a great show!!
I really like the show I’m sorry to hear that its not coming back I wish they’d bring it back. there were other shows that they could have cancelled.
My Husband and I totally love this Show. It was brilliant. Pleaseee let me know where we can find it on Dish. DO NOT CANCEL this show. Please! My husband who is a disabled Vietnam Vet and who has a very serious Heart Problems truly loves this show. A compliment from him is sincerely a compliment and he is the reason I am searching for this TV series!
Another good show cancelled! TNT is following in the footsteps of A&E. King and Maxwell was just getting good, characters and story lines were developing and viewers were waiting for the next season, then BOOM – the idiots dropped the show. The exec that made that decision should be fired!
Once again a great series has been canceled. My wife and I enjoyed watching the show together. It had intelligent and action,with wonderful humor. It really should be brought back.
why do idoiots cancel goo show
good show
king and maxwell was a great show. should be back.
What were they thinking – cancelling this show is an awful decision.
Another show that I like and they cancel it. I guess I will be doing a lot of reading for a while.
Yes I also think the show should not have been cancelled. Especially the way it ended and left us the viewers hanging again. If the writers and producers can’t agree on how to end a show maybe they should go back to school and figure out a proper ending. Since this show ended I have not watched TNT very much or any other station with new shows. I hate getting hooked on a new show and then next time you go to turn it on it’s gone. I was hoping another network would pick up this series with a fresh… Read more »
I am very disappointed that this show was cancelled. My husband and I enjoyed it very much. It was un and lively, not like the intense and violent shows on some of the other channels. Please think about bringing it back.
I thought King & Maxwell was a great show. I don’t know why they cancelled it.
Every comment was for keeping King & Maxwell on the air. I just started the new book by David Baldacci and it is good from the very first page! Put this show back on the air. And like Gary Carrier says, fire your people that are making decisions about the GOOD shows and taking them off the air. This one was a definite keeper!
