A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Episode 3 Review | HBO Series Breakdown

HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premieres with an episode that makes one thing clear: this is not Game of Thrones.
In this Episode 1 review, I break down the tone, performances, and why this smaller Westeros story works.

Full Description

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, HBO’s latest series set in the world of Game of Thrones, has officially premiered. Based on George R. R. Martin’s The Hedge Knight, this show takes a very different approach to Westeros—one focused on chivalry, humor, and everyday life rather than world-ending conflict.

In this spoiler-light review of Episode 1, I discuss:
• Why the premiere intentionally separates itself from Game of Thrones
• The lighter, more playful tone of the series
• Dunk (Peter Claffey) as a sincere, idealistic knight
• Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell) and their early chemistry
• The street-level perspective of Westeros and life as a hedge knight
• Tournament setup, character introductions, and visual world-building

This review is part of a full A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms coverage series, including:
• A review of The Hedge Knight novella
• A review of the comic adaptation
• A breakdown of 5 things the show needed to get right

💬 What did you think of the premiere? Does this smaller, character-focused approach work for you?
