I imagine a lot of viewers have had a similar reaction, but it's kind of like watching Romeo & Juliet and saying it's cliche. It is cliche now, yes, but it helped
create the cliche.
At times it does bug me how nearly perfect the character of David is... except that's exactly what he's supposed to be in this story. The biblical David, before he became king, was a relatively innocent farm boy. After all, in the story world of the bible and of Kings, there is a god, and David is right with him. Maybe we're no longer able to appreciate stories that are less grounded in reality, I don't know, but I don't mind it. I understand why others may not though. It's a shame, because if the show were to stick around for a little while we might get to see David become less pure and more of a womanizer.
