Surprise has its place, and isn't mandatory in a table-setting episode like this. Go to Full Review David Malitz Washington Post 04/05/2019
The season six premiere of "Game of Thrones" didn't provide many answers. Or all that much excitement. Some good throat-slitting and face-stabbing, yes. So we've got that going for us. Go to Full Review Alyssa Rosenberg Washington Post 04/05/2019
I wonder more and more if Roose Bolton chose the wrong norms to break; the world may will split open around him in ways that render Sansa Stark moot, at least for the role the Boltons intended for her. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/11/2020
4/5
[A]n episode that surprisingly takes few steps forward to the future, opting to reflect on the many world-shaking events at the end of season five, in what turns out to be exceptionally satisfying fashion. Go to Full Review TK Burton Pajiba 04/13/2019
It was an overall solid, if unexciting episode, and I found myself quite satisfied with its languid pacing and the foundation that it built. Go to Full Review Charlie Jane Anders io9.com 04/05/2019
All of which makes Brienne look like the ultimate badass on Game of Thrones. Which probably means she'll be maimed next week. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
