What to Know

Critics Consensus

While the longest time-skip yet diminishes some of this installment's most shocking moments, the commanding introductions of Emma D'Arcy and Olivia Cooke make clear that "The Princess and the Queen" will remain compulsively watchable combatants.

Even for more consequential characters, the time jumps muddled their motivations. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 09/28/2022
5/5
Goodbye peace and harmony, hello a truly captivating drama that is, quite literally, catching fire. Go to Full Review Scott Bryan BBC.com 09/28/2022
Must Watch
I like the fact that this show is less sprawling than the original. There are far fewer characters. The show also feels different to Game of Thrones by looking at the factions and fighting within one family rather than across many others. Go to Full Review Rob Bricken io9.com 10/17/2022
Tonight's excellent, tension-filled episode basically gave me a 67-minute-long anxiety attack. Go to Full Review Akash Singh That Shelf 10/06/2022
“The Princess and the Queen” benefits substantially from this thematic resonance because otherwise this is arguably the weakest episode of the season. Go to Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority 10/03/2022
I’m here for the ride, even if this outing is a bit disjointed. The cinematography is lush, as usual, as is the ethereal setting, intricate costumes and rich dialogue. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
