A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms Season 1 Episode 3 Review: The Chaos Begins

Episode three of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, called “The Squire,” serves as a harsh reality check for Dunk (Peter Claffey) about what it truly means to be a knight. It’s striking that Dunk, who came from the rough streets of Flea Bottom and was raised by a flawed mentor, is learning these lessons in a similar way to Sansa, who had a privileged upbringing in Winterfell with a loving family. This episode shows Dunk actively choosing to remain naive as a way to stay hopeful in a difficult world. As the first season reaches its midpoint, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has spent enough time with lighthearted moments and is now preparing for more serious challenges ahead.
