The story
A century before the events of Game of Thrones, two unlikely heroes wandered Westeros: a young, naive but courageous knight, Ser Duncan the Tall, and his diminutive squire, Egg. Set in an age when the Targaryen line still holds the Iron Throne and the last dragon has not yet passed from living memory, great destinies, powerful foes, and dangerous exploits await these improbable and incomparable friends.
What it’s like
Muddy roads, sun-warmed village greens, and the clatter of tournament tack give this show an earthy, lived-in look, with a palette of greens, browns and tarnished steel rather than the candlelit gloom of its larger sibling. Its pacing is loose and episodic, built around a road-trip rhythm of inns, fairs and chance meetings, with long conversational scenes that let the banter breathe. Its vibe is warm, scruffy and good-humoured, a gentle comedy of manners with a sincere heart: a big, earnest knight slowly learning the ways of the world alongside a small, sharp-witted companion. Violence comes in bursts, including jousting falls and sudden, bloody combat that lands with weight, but it is not wall-to-wall, and sexual content and nudity are present though not central. It suits a lazy weekend, a comfort rewatch, or anyone who wants a Westeros with more heart and less dread. It is for viewers who enjoy a loyal friendship at the centre of a sprawling fantasy world and who like their medieval drama leavened with humour.
