A century before the events of "Game of Thrones," two unlikely heroes wander Westeros. In an adaption of George R. R. Martin's novella "The Hedge Knight," a young and naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg, face a series of dangerous exploits. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and images of the last dragon have not yet passed from living memory, great destinies and powerful foes await these improbable and incomparable friends.

Critics Consensus

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a welcome return to Westeros that works better in the buddy-comedy arena rather than solely slaying its competition.

Audience Says

Way more dopey than GoT, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms offers a refreshing, low stakes return to Westeros anchored by the endearing duo of Egg and Dunk.

By creating a more humane world in a landscape that feels increasingly unmanageable, a story that insists on small acts of goodness is almost radical.

If you love and miss this seven-kingdomed world, Dunk and Egg make excellent companions for the return.

3.5/5

The third TV show set in the world of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire is likeable enough, but far from the must-see status of Game of Thrones.

It is understated, hilarious, and sometimes devastating in its delivery…and it’s as close to a perfect season of TV as I have seen in a long time.

After years in which this universe seemed obsessed with getting bigger and bigger, this series reminds us of something quite simple: that medieval epics don't always need dragons, massive armies, or paranoid kings. [Full review in Spanish]

This was such a nice change of pace from House of the Dragon. It's smaller, funnier and much more character-focused, and Dunk and Egg are ridiculously easy to root for.

I recently watched it as big ASOIAF fan and the whole universe. Gosh it was so good. Lower stakes for once, fantastic acting and chemistry between all the actors.

A slow start, but once *A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms* gets going, it’s fantastic. It honestly feels like it’s operating on the same level as *Game of Thrones* did. A huge part of that is the two leads, who are both incredibly charming, likeable and easy to root for from the very first second. They might genuinely be two of the most likeable characters in the entire GoT universe. I also really enjoyed the smaller scale. Just six short episodes makes this such an easy binge, and every episode flies by. I had a great time with this and I genuinely can’t wait for season 2. **73%.**

The two leads work so well.

I love this show so much. The humor, scenery, characters, and actors are top tier. Even specific sentences of dialogue are just brilliant. It keeps things grounded and human, but when it hits, it hits hard. Absolutely perfect.

I actually loved how slow and simple this felt compared with the other Game of Thrones shows. My only complaint is that the episodes were way too short!
