What to Know

Critics Consensus

What "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" lacks in forward narrative momentum it makes up for in cryptic callbacks, intimate moments, and the promise of imminent battle -- though some fans may find their patience tested. The things we do for love.

Welcome back, Ghost, Jon's direwolf. If all the humans are gone and your kind takes over, I'm sorta good with that. Go to Full Review Louise Rugendyke Sydney Morning Herald Apr 29, 2019
Sure, it kinda felt like watching your parents have sex but good on Arya, she's a woman of many faces and now she's a bastard-king-in-waiting slayer. Go to Full Review James White Empire Magazine Apr 29, 2019

A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms wasn't so much full of drama as it was a living recap of past stories. Which, for all its minor (and a couple of major incidences) came off as a little less than totally satisfying in the shadow of last week.

In conclusion, episode 2 - much like the season opener - felt a bit like it was going through the motions. There were some poignant and moving pre-battle farewells, but just as many that felt a little clunky... Go to Full Review Fausto Ponce Alta Fidelidad Magazine Apr 26, 2021
