A:
The Book of Kings (now 1 Kings and 2 Kings) presents the kings of Israel in a generally unfavourable light, while the kings of Judah are portrayed more favourably. This no doubt reflects the nationalism of Judah, where the book was first written. King Josiah is particularly favoured, both because he is believed to have been alive when the Deuteronomic History (Kings and others books) was written and because he initiated the religious reforms which formed an important break with the past.
Jewish answer:
The Hebrew Bible is rare indeed in that it does nothing to conceal the faults of its protagonists. All kings, whether from Judah or the Ten Tribes, whether before Josiah or later, are judged solely by whether or not they did the will of God. Several Judean kings are castigated for insufficient righteousness, as are kings of the Ten Tribes.
