I am a big David Baldacci fan, and, 'King and Maxwell', have the opportunity to become a huge cult classic. I do feel a solid intro is needed though (i.e. pilot the show with a proper rendition of "Split Second.") The producers/director/writer can do this at any point in their first season - just make it a 2 hour special. That introduction is very important (in my opinion of course.) The cast is very strong. Jon Tenney and Rebecca Romijn are getting their characters down pretty good - I like them already. I already love to hate Michael O'Keefe and Chris Butler - those two are the quintessential antagonizing gems - their characters are vital. I do have one quandary though - where in the world did Ryan Hurst's character come from? Forget that question. Whatever you do, don't let him go. This guy really adds something that is not there in the books - kind of a friendly awkwardness. Like I said - I do enjoy David Baldacci and these are my two (King and Maxwell)favorite characters. Both are very good at what they do and are very serious crime solvers - but neither are too serious about their private lives and would fail if left to function solo. I like them both. I do agree - work is needed to succeed and that is why I suggest some kind of two hour pilot based on, "Split Second." The audience will feel a closer tie to the characters.
