@BrianDermody It's Kurosawa's "Ran", only more British. #KingLear

@VampirismBites A King divides his power based on how his daughters declare their love, not how they actually love, and winds up losing big.

@jotalejos Weathered and wearied king decides who to bequeath dynasty to. Chaos ensues to a new era borne by the ashes of a saint.

@Woodzette Two fathers learn the difference between flattery and fealty in their children, while a fool stands guard and a knight fools.

@chaoslinkDL Old regal diva succumbs to flattery, punishes the truth and loses everything

Khanisha Foster That dude played his daughters bogus.

Kn Cho Daddy issues.
