“Regarded as superior to Game of Thrones”, this Netflix horror series combines the elements of samurai and zombies. It is currently available for streaming.
Despite its conclusion after eight seasons, Game of Thrones remained the most popular TV show in the world for a significant period of time. Similarly, the newly released prequel series House of the Dragon is also experiencing immense success in terms of viewership.
The high level of achievement has resulted in a demand from fans for equally thrilling and intense shows. One South Korean series, currently available on Netflix, has been likened to the fantasy drama.
The series premiered in March 2020, adapting the webtoon series The Kingdom of the Gods. However, GOT remains the primary source of comparison.
The Hollywood Reporter is cited in the official Netflix synopsis, which describes the zombie epic set in Korea’s Joeson era as an ideal escapist fantasy for fans of Game of Thrones.
According to a Reddit discussion, Kingdom is said to be “1,000 times better”than the eighth season of Game of Thrones.
Another fan, in a separate comment, expresses their enjoyment with the story’s development and suspense, stating, “The way it builds up and keeps you guessing is so much more captivating compared to many other shows.”
Another person chimed in, saying, “Zombies, period drama, political intrigue, and cannibalism? How could I not enjoy it? The palace scenes were especially eerie and captivating. The explanation for the zombies was unique and well-crafted. The show was brilliantly written and acted, and remains one of my top picks on Netflix.”
One viewer eagerly anticipates the future by declaring: “Korean samurais and zombies, what’s not to love? The acting, storytelling, and suspense are all fantastic. I can’t wait for a third season.”
Regrettably, news about the potential third season is still unavailable at this time. However, in 2021, there was a feature-length episode titled Ashin of the North.
