	Stephen King Presents - Kingdom Hospital
		Kingdom Hospital is horror novelist Stephen King's adaptation of Danish director Lars Von Trier's cult miniseries The Kingdom, geared very much for an American audience.
		In the present day, Kingdom Hospital is haunted by the ghost of 10-year-old child worker Mary and, even more bizarrely, a fearsome giant anteater-like creature called Antubis.
		But too often, Kingdom Hospital seems to be trying too hard to make itself into a cult series, something which King is just not a subtle enough writer to carry off.

	USATODAY.com - Prognosis looks bad for 'Kingdom Hospital' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Rickman is a famous and beloved artist who tenuously clings to life at Kingdom Hospital after being left for dead by a stoned hit-and-run driver.
		Built on the site of a catastrophic 19th-century mill fire, Kingdom Hospital stands, we're told, "on uneasy ground." Apparently, the basement now houses one of those constantly swinging gates between the worlds of the living and the dead.
		Kingdom does have a few frightening moments, but they don't compensate for the lackluster performances, the absence of character development, humor or pacing, or the wild fluctuations in tone.

	Kingdom Hospital \| PopMatters Television Review
		In addition to the little dead girl who cries in the elevator shaft, patients in Kingdom Hospital are visited by spirits appearing as Sesame Street-like animals: an evil bear that disconnects a man's breathing tube and an aardvark with a better beside manner.
		Maybe the creators of Kingdom Hospital should have lifted every writerly and cinematic virtue they could from Twin Peaks, which was good at everything the new series isn't, beginning with a detailed sense of place and organic mix of surreal and supernatural.
		Kingdom Hospital prefers the moment over the scenic, stock characters, and small plots, designed so that the viewer can slip in during any week and not feel estranged or out of depth.

	dOc DVD Review: Kingdom Hospital (2004)
		Kingdom Hospital's premiere in March 2004 had strong audience numbers, but they dropped quickly, and after the fifth episode, it was shunted off to a certain death up against CSI and The Apprentice, with predictable results.
		In many of the episodes, characters are brought to the hospital, hang around for a while and interact with the staff, but then disappear and are never (or seldom) heard from again.
		In Kingdom Hospital, we're encouraged to identify and sympathize with the personages, only to have them yanked away from us, and the effect is jarring—and after it happens for two or three episodes in a row, tedious.

	Fangoria - Ghastly Review
		WINDOW has a writer as its central character, while in KINGDOM one of the leads is Peter Rickman (Jack Coleman), described more than once in the dialogue as "a famous artist" who is struck and critically injured by a van while jogging.
		KINGDOM HOSPITAL is based on the Danish miniseries THE KINGDOM by Lars von Trier (credited as an executive producer on this adaptation), which won a good deal of comparison to TWIN PEAKS when it was released theatrically in the States.
		Judging a series, even one that will begin and end in less than a season, just based on its pilot is always a tricky business, since most shows take a little while to find their footing and get the viewer fully invested in its characters and story.

	'Kingdom Hospital' offers a fear factor of zilch
		The opportunistic, airheaded hospital administrator Dr. Jesse James (Ed Begley Jr.) delights in having a celebrity in his midst, while flighty chief neurologist Dr. Stegman (Bruce Davison) becomes embroiled in a power struggle with the intense but honest Dr. Hook (Andrew McCarthy), Rickman's primary surgeon.
		"Kingdom Hospital" has scant moments that work; Rickman's point of view on his emergency surgery is especially effective, and captures everything we fear about being on the table.
		"This is Kingdom Hospital, where the ground is uneasy, and old secrets have begun to rise to the surface," the narrator booms at the very end.

		On Wednesday night, I went to the hospital, Kingdom Hospital that is. I’ve been waiting eagerly for Stephen King’s mini-series adapted from a 1994 Danish mini-series called "Riget" (The Kingdom), written by Lars von Trier and Niels Vorsel.
		In the opener, we find out that Kingdom Hospital was built on shaky ground, a place where in 1869, a textile mill suspiciously burned down, taking the lives of mainly children.
		Kingdom Hospital now rests upon the graves of these lost souls who have found a way out.

	The Kingdom (TV miniseries) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The series is set in the neurological ward of Copenhagen's Rigshospitalet, the city and country's main hospital, nicknamed "Riget".
		The show is notable for the muted, sepia colour scheme, a sort of "Dogme"-lite shooting style (with added jump cuts), and the dishwashing kitchen staff in the basement who have Down syndrome and discuss the strange occurrences in the hospital as the plot develops (without ever being involved in the story themselves).
		Amongst other plotlines, a young neurosurgery student becomes attracted to the nurse in charge of the sleep research laboratory, a ghostly ambulance appears and disappears every night, and a neurologist discovers that she was impregnated by a ghost and that her baby is developing abnormally rapidly.

	"Stephen King's Kingdom Hospital" Review
		A hospital in Lewiston, Maine named Kingdom Hospital was built on the site of a Civil War-era mill fire in which many children died (sounds like Stephen Spielberg’s Poltergeist.) Now their spirits are haunting the hospital, with some meaning harm and some meaning no harm.
		Sally Druse (Diane Ladd) is a hypochondriac who hangs around the hospital, much to the annoyance of her son, Bobby (Del Pentecost), an orderly at the hospital.
		Jesse James (Ed Begley, Jr.) is the hospital administrator who is always looking for ways to raise funds for the hospital and is the leader of some weird secret society where they all blow on their thumb like a trumpet.

		Hospitals can be creepy places under the best of circumstances.
		Driven to seek catharsis after recovering from a hit-and-run in 1999, and inspired by Lars von Trier's Danish miniseries Rigit (The Kingdom), America's Master of Horror created Kingdom Hospital, a 15-hour "novel for television" that delivers high-quality characterizations and supernatural mysteries.
		Kingdom Hospital didn't get nearly the attention it deserved when it originally aired on ABC, but subsequent exposure through the DVD market will eventually solidify this "extended miniseries" as a landmark event in genre TV.
