HBO’s new series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, has launched to overwhelmingly positive reviews, earning the highest Rotten Tomatoes score of any Game of Thrones spin-off in the last ten years. It’s the first new show set in Westeros since House of the Dragon premiered in 2022.
Following a slightly lower Rotten Tomatoes score and some criticism from author George R.R. Martin after its second season, there were concerns about the future of House of the Dragon. However, critics seem to have put those worries to rest.
The latest episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is receiving rave reviews, currently holding a 94% score on Rotten Tomatoes. This is the highest critical score for the show since 2016, when season 6 of Game of Thrones also earned a 94%. Remarkably, the very first episode of the series received a perfect score.
The new series, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, is getting fantastic reviews – it’s the best-rated premiere of any show in the Game of Thrones universe. Both the first seasons of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon also earned high scores, with a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critics are calling A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms a fun and charming show, a welcome change of pace from the more serious tone of Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Many reviewers have found it to be enjoyable and intriguing, offering a lighter experience.
For its first seven seasons, Game of Thrones was consistently well-received by critics. The show earned scores between 90% and 97% on Rotten Tomatoes, with season 4 receiving the highest ratings overall.
As a longtime fan, it was really disappointing to see the final season, season eight, get such a negative reaction. Critics and viewers weren’t happy with it, and it actually got a pretty low score – only 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. That was a huge drop from the usual high scores the show gets, and it was the first season that wasn’t considered ‘Certified Fresh.’
Following the conclusion of Game of Thrones three years prior, House of the Dragon offered a fresh start for both viewers and critics who were disappointed with the original series’ ending. The first season of House of the Dragon was critically well-received, earning a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with an audience score of 84%.
