This is truly the best visit to Westeros in nearly a decade - certainly since Cersei blew up the Great Sept of Baelor anyway.

So far, the most notable thing about A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms, HBO’s latest adaptation of the works of George R.R. Martin, is its patience. .... It’s a dramatic enough start—we’re seeing a squire ascend to his ser’s station, even if his knighthood leaves room for doubt.

Beautiful, humorous, yet dark and gritty at times. Knight of the Seven Kingdoms distills the best elements of the GOT series into a fine concentrate of pure fantasy TV.

The show is not only focused in terms of run time, but in its storytelling. .... It is crucial that both of these characters come across as compelling and empathic, and they do, thanks in no small part to the actors who bring them to life.

It may be an addendum, but it’s proof that there’s plenty of Westeros terrain left to explore.

The wonderful brotherly bond between Dunk and Egg gives the fantasy-free A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms a great sense of charm, keeping the viewer engaged in where this underdog duo’s travels take them next.

Granted, nothing will ever be as grandiose, addictive and surprising as the fantasy universe that brought us White Walkers, the Red Woman and the Faceless Man, but to pull out the magical realism, then fill the gaps with Dunk’s sincerity and honor-above-skill ethos is not a winning strategy.

It's not funny, nor is it gripping or thrilling. It's as halfhearted and listless as its main character.

I think this show has great potential but they got to be longer! Only 30 min? An hour at least to give the build up room and not feel so rushed. I believe that If they made the future episodes longer the experience would feel less frustrating.

I don't get why it's so popular. I was bored watching it. I couldn't get into it, and believe me, I tried. I geuss people are hungry for something diffrent, and that's understandable, when most of new tv shows are **** now.

It's pretty tepid. Nowhere near GoT levels. But I guess even mediocre stuff is "peak" and "absolute cinema" these days.
