Episode 5: In the Name of the Mother

Summary

Dunk's mettle is put to the test in the brutal trial of seven.

Review

Huw Fullerton

Our hero Ser Duncan the Tall’s Trial of Seven kicks off in gritty, violent style, resembling less a chivalrous clash of arms and more a brawl in the mud as Dunk fights for his life against Prince Aerion. It’s exciting, and the closest this series has come to Game of Thrones spectacle. So it seems strange that so much time is also taken to visit flashbacks of Dunk’s hardscrabble childhood amid the bouts. It saps childhood amid the bouts. It saps some of the pace from what should some of the pace from what should be the climax of the series, and the be the climax of the series, and the trip down memory lane isn’t particularly illuminating.
