4/5

Throughout this first season, the show’s writers have added to and enriched Martin’s material in ways that have deepened the characters and the meaning. The showrunner, Ira Parker, knows what he’s doing.

I honestly wasn’t sure I was going to care all that much about this story – I have to admit I’m a bit Westeros-ed out – but it’s been an utter delight.

4/5

Much like almost everything else involved with this show, [this episode of] A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms continues to play with our expectations of what we expect this franchise to be and do.

Sure, we do get back to the battle, and we do get to see how Dunk survives this, but there’s a lot of time wasted that could have been spent on the action.
