The first season of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has come to an end. The final episode started with the lowest rating in recent times, but the reason is not the quality of the episode.
The sixth episode of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" has been released on HBO Max, putting an end to the first season of the story about Dunk and Egg. The show was renewed for a second season even before the premiere and the continuation is expected in 2027, but viewers' attention is now focused not so much on the plot as on the ratings.
On IMDb, the series started with a score of 8.5 — this is the lowest figure since the second episode of the show. The rating continues to gradually decline: it was higher shortly before the publication of the note. At the same time, the fall is not due to the reaction to the quality of the finale, but to another wave of targeted underestimation of ratings by fans of "Breaking Bad".
Recall that after the fifth episode of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" received a perfect ten on IMDb, fans of "Breaking Bad" began to massively give "ones" to the new show. In response, fans of "The Knight" attacked the cult episode "Ozymandias". If earlier the episode held 10/10, now its rating has dropped to 9.6 with 428 thousand ratings.
Familiar wording is already appearing in the reviews of the sixth episode of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" — "For Heisenberg", "Say my name" and other direct references. Moreover, negative reviews began to be published even before the official release of the series. The fifth episode of "The Knight" is now also holding at 9.6 with 143 thousand votes, which indicates active audience support, compensating for the flow of low ratings.
