Story highlights

Without dragons or an extra-large scale, this version of GOT has won the hearts of fans through the bond between Dunk and Egg and their adventures together. The show is based on George R. R. Martin’s novel, ‘The Hedge Knight.’ and focuses on the adventures of knight Ser Duncan the Tall, played by Peter Claffey, and his young squire, Egg (portrayed by Dexter Sol Ansell.)

‘Game of Thrones’ spin-off series A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has wrapped up its run with the sixth and last episode, ‘Morrow,’ released on Feb 22, and this show has tugged the heartstrings in a very soft mode, unlike the original GOT series and its prequel, House of Dragons.

The show is set nearly 100 years before the events of GOT and another 100 years after the events of 'House of the Dragon'. The final episode of the show is out, and so far, it has received outstanding reviews, just like the rest of the season.

Especially episodes 4 and 5, which are being called one of the best episodes in the entire Game of Thrones franchise. The episode titled "In the Name of the Mother," achieved a 10/10 rating on IMDb.

With this praise, a few fans of the classic show Breaking Bad felt threatened that it might overtake their favourite series in terms of ratings. This reportedly led some of them to engage in review bombing.
