Even George R.R. Martin, known for his graphic storytelling, was taken aback by the opening scene of HBO Max’s new Game of Thrones prequel, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms.
Set about 90 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the spinoff stars Peter Claffey as Ser Duncan the Tall, a young and naive but courageous knight, and his squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell), as they face dangerous exploits along their wanderings. It’s based on Martin’s 1998 novella The Hedge Knight.
