But once in a rare while, a show comes along that manages to have it all: amorous adherence to its source material, with its own shining qualities such as the charisma and skill of its actors, the detail of its sets and costumes, the power of its music, and a critical eye for visuals and storytelling. Martin has written three Dunk and Egg stories to date, and the first season of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms adapts the first of them, "The Hedge Knight," which shows our leading pair meet for the first time as they head to a tournament at Ashford Meadow in the Reach. Over the course of its six episode season, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms does a wonderful job at pulling the heartstrings of viewers, from joyous moments to heartwrenching ones, uplifting monologues to edge-of-your-seat action, and of course, a few of those shocker twists that the franchise is known for.
