A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

Watched: 9 March 2026 (labour day public holiday in Australia)

Honestly, the ending of Game of Thrones left a sour taste in my mouth and despite being a huge fan, I only watched a couple of episodes of the House of Dragons, realising it was pretty much similar story line to Game of Thrones, which it is because I have read the book. Unlike the Game of Thrones books, George R R Martin has finished the House of Dragon story. Rant over.

However, this one is different. Yes it is set in the Game of Thrones Universe but it has a different authentic vibe to it with a bit of comedy spread over its pretty serious settings. The comic elements come up in the most serious of settings in the show and that makes it even more funny.

The connection between the two main characters is so beautifully crafted and executed that I was not ready for the twist when it eventually came.

I watched all six episodes in one afternoon.
