A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms review – this is the Game of Thrones we all need now

The shift in tone from the brutal and complex narratives of Game of Thrones to the more lighthearted and straightforward storytelling in A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms reflects a desire for escapism in today's tumultuous world. This change may appeal to viewers seeking comfort rather than conflict, though it raises questions about the target audience and the series' long-term appeal. The focus on character development over plot-heavy episodes could either engage a new audience or alienate those expecting the high stakes of previous series.
