A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS ended its first season on a heart-warming note, hopefully to be continued in a second season. The writers made sure to fill in most of the blanks with all the necessary details. The final frame made me watch in wonder while tears gently flowed down my cheeks. It was simply perfectly written and staged.Â
Dunk (Peter Chaffee) is at the center of the action and subtle reactions, which make the story entertaining and enjoyable. His character is flawed and vulnerable, yet he possesses more honor and loyalty than the kingdom’s most famous knights. He carries the soul of a good man throughout every dangerous moment. He knows his limitations, and yet, he continually forges forward. His persistence and tenacity have consistently touched me, and it is growing more obvious to all around him, besides just the adorable Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell). This is due to the credit of excellent storytelling. Hazza to the writers and directors who kept a tight, sharp, intentional rein on each emotional and physical arc.Â
A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS surprised me. I was not prepared for what I saw. It was so much more. I fretted and smiled along with every epic adventure along the way. I am happily anticipating the discovery and exploration of each new kingdom in the future. The exact number is not important. Sir Duncan was never very good at counting.
It is streaming on HBO MAX.Â
