"A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" is now officially the highest-rated series in the franchise thanks to its fifth episode

The fifth episode of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" didn't just air; it literally exploded the audience ratings. The penultimate episode of the project, which tells the story of the wandering knight Ser Duncan the Tall a hundred years before the events of the original saga, received a nearly unattainable 10 out of 10 points from IMDb users.

Even the cult "Game of Thrones" failed to achieve such a result: its best episodes, including the famous "Battle of the Bastards," stopped at the 9.9 mark.

The success of the fifth episode looks especially impressive against the backdrop of the already warm reception the series has received since its launch. Recall that earlier, "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" entered the top three most successful premieres in HBO Max history, confirming that viewers' interest in the world of Westeros is far from exhausted.
