Since no one seems to be talking about "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms," I will:
It’s PERFECT.
HBO’s return to the Game of Thrones universe, based on George R.R. Martin’s “The Hedge Knight,” feels like a breath of fresh Westerosi air.
Peter Claffey is perfect as Dunk—a giant, earnest man-child whose only real dream is to become a proper knight - no schemes, no politics, just pure-hearted honor.
He teams up with Egg, the sharp young boy who becomes his squire, and their bromance is instantly likable and fun.
Only two episodes in, but it’s already a massive step away from the forced wokeness that dragged down other recent GOT shows.
No NASTINESS.
No HATRED.
No lectures on female empowerment here—just two male protagonists you genuinely root for.
And the humor is unapologetically masculine: crude jokes, tavern brawls, blunt camaraderie, and a bit of shocking male nudity (wink wink).
It’s straightforward, character-driven storytelling with heart, grit, and a real sense of medieval adventure.
This is the kind of fantasy I’ve been missing—simple, heroic, and actually entertaining.
More of this, please.
If The Blues Brothers were British:
“It’s Monday morning, it’s 12 miles to work, I’ve hardly any petrol (last night I stupidly said “I’ll just fill up in the morning” instead of doing it right away), half a pack of Wine Gums, it’s damp and grey, and I’m wearing a thermal vest. Hit it.”
If you put an infinite number of Brits in a room with an infinite number of typewriters, a lot of them would bash out a strongly worded letter to the council.
Oh for the love of God can we please stop talking about Gregg Wallace now? I’ve started to dream about him. Last night I woke up screaming. My therapist will charge me extra for this shit.
@Taylor_Advocate TV Licensing are always like this! I manage properties and the frequency of their letters, how loaded their wording is, is disgraceful, they’re the TV equivalent of traffic wardens, tell them to get a life!!
7. When Liam Neeson was asked to play the antagonist in A Million Ways to die in the West (2014) (directed by Seth McFarlane) he accepted due to a scene in Family Guy where Peter says “Imagine Liam Neeson in a Western! Ha! With that funny accent of his!”
