Kings (TV) : should I be watching this???

Western TV and I are having quite a dry spell:

- "Merlin" has finished
- "The Mentalist" : unfortunately I always fall asleep during the first 1/3 of every episode and even the awesomeness of Simon Baker doesn't help it.
- "Life" : I am getting un-enthusiastic about this show.
- "Battlestar Galactica" : I am going to watch this when it is over. I am observing enough drama in Asian entertainment at the moment ("Boys Before Flowers", I am looking at you!) .
- "Dollhouse" is a strange case, I like it and simultaneously I am feeling guilty about liking it.
- "Fringe" is on hiatus
- "Sarah Connor Chronicles" is the only Western show I watch at the moment with interest.

I need a new show , desperately. From the first glance, "Kings" is something I could like a lot, it is a Biblical story ! And it is an adaption of the books of Kings (I love Kings and Chronicles)

BUT! Am I right in thinking that the main implication of the premise is that USA is the GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE and American president is King David?????????????????????

Shall I watch or shall I not????????

PS: I would appreciate any other Western show recs!!!
