Can NBC Do the Bible?

Clearly, Kings is not a straight-on analogy or direct reimagining of the Old Testament. However, for a network TV show to talk so openly about God, His anointing and even make such close references to the Bible, is notable. And, the show is incredibly well made with beautiful cinematography, great acting and gripping dialogue. Its source material is one of the most adventure-ridden, tragic and redeeming stories in scripture. If it can at least express some of the themes from the Bible, than it will be a welcomed departure from the standard primetime fare.
