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?
Another good show bites the Network dust’. I guess they offered Jon Tenney a full time spot on Major Crimes. Wish they would have at least given K&M a good closure
I really enjoyed king and maxwell please bring it back!,
Jan
I think good shows are cancelled because stations do not adequately promote them. Such a loss to lose this great show,
Oh please bring it back. It was a great series. I so enjoyed watching it. I don’t understand why such good entertainment was canceled. I loved Edgar too. Reality shows are awful and they are taking over TV!! Please bring King and Maxwell back.
Thanks,
Why was the show cancel, Should have never been cancel
Please bring back King and Maxwell!!! They were a great team and I looked forward to the show every week. Wish TNT would bring them back….and I really miss Edgar too!! He was a great part of the show. Can’t believe they took this wonderful series off. Maybe they will bring it back like another network brought back Unforgettable. I hope so!!
I loved this series and thought it was doing well. I am very disappointed. I thought it was renewed and was really looking forward to seeing it again. I love the books as well. I don’t understand why it was cancelled. This and Rizzoli and Isles are my favorites.
This was a good show . Why do they always get rid of good shows and keep bad ones
TNT seldom misses the chance to screw it up, and did so again by cancelling this series. Good characters and good story lines are no substitute for re-runs of Kenny and Shaq. The network couldn’t even manage to broadcast a golf tournament. Maybe TNT is just worried about offending folks in the beltway, and having ‘licensing’ issues.
Disappointed! I was looking forward to another season. The actors complemented each other. Nice job TNT!!!
I was looking forward to seeing king &Maxwell for the following season it was good and I liked the actors together and I really like him in this better then the closer he not that he wasn’t good in that too just his character in k&m is better I think gives him more room why do all these companies get a good show only to scrap it for son dumb ass reality show or another stupid sitcom then their is all those young people that you all play up to like that’s the only audience you have its funny that… Read more »
Really enjoyed this series. The time to ask for comments is BEFORE the series is cancelled. Why are stations so quick to cancel? Very disappointed.
I am in shock too…I loved this show and was looking to watching the new episodes.
I really don’t understand how they make decisions to cancel or not. They cancel good shows and keep non-interesting ones.
This was a very good show. I don’t understand why networks get rid of good shows.
Apologies to US network. Could not believe that TNT is the network that cancelled King and Maxwell. I enjoy watching a number if their series ie. Rizzoli and Isles. Major Crimes and Perception and a couple of others. Was waiting for K&M to start up again, now I’m not sure if I want to keep watching the above mentioned since you may cancelled them without any notice and no finale.
