I was sooo looking forwards to this but the trailer I saw last week made it look like an episode of Plebs !!

So many jokes in so a short 2 minute trailer

[bots]

its apparently a very short season, with short episodes. I think it is based on a short story?

[bots]

2 episodes in and I love this show. It's a completely different take on the universe

I like 99% of the show thus far .. loving the acting and writing … though it does feel a little like GoT meets Plebs occasionally



I actually I hated the extremely graphic , completely unnecessary scene where he was shown defecating diarrhoea … if they were trying to suggest that he was extremely nervous about the next day’s jousting tournament there’s a hundred better , less disgusting ways they could have done it .

That’s probably my only gripe though other than the half hour episodes ..

[bots]

The 3rd episode was brilliant

egg is the mad king :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Watched the 1st 2 episodes, i like it so far

That's modern Hollywood for you.

it's not jokes, it's just light hearted compared to GoT

[Glenn.]

Tried watching the first episode and zoned right out.

[Mystic Mock]

it's not jokes, it's just light hearted compared to GoT

That's a shame.:(

[bots]

That's a shame.:(

why is it a shame? It's an excellent series

[Niamh.]

the 3rd episode is where you go wtf [emoji23]i had already guessed that Egg was a Targaryen [emoji14]

[bots]

i had already guessed that Egg was a Targaryen [emoji14]


yes, but listening to the fortune teller, i think he is the mad king :laugh: The series is set about 70 years before GoT so it would fit

Ahhh

[Mystic Mock]

Because GOT was a Political TV Show with a serious tone to itself.

It's not GoT, it's just set in the same universe. I really like it because its fresh and interesting. Don't write something off before you try it

That's a fair point.

I do miss the more ambitious elements of the franchise though, as neither spin-off seems to have what made GOT so special in my eyes.

For example:
- Political intrigue
- Barbaric characters
- Ambitious storytelling/bold character development for certain characters
- Sexual content and lots of violence
- Dark humour

GOT had nearly everything that a person could ask for in a TV Show imo.

But tbf, you're right in that I probably should check at least an episode of Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms before judging it's qualities fully.

Episode 4 is my new favourite of the series :laugh:

Enjoying this so far except the toilet humour
