Game of Thrones: S2E9 "Blackwater" Review - King Cadmium
8 March 2022
Tyrion and the Lannisters fight for their lives as Stannis' fleet assaults Kings Landing.

What I Liked:

The pacing of this penultimate episode is unbelievable, with not a single dull moment. It's a testament to the level of care every person involved has given.

Easily the most enthralling episode so far, one cannot help but be taken aback by the sheer scope of this incredible battle, with neither side being the clear-cut favourite until the very end.

As usual, it is impossible not to be impressed by the high-quality production value, as well as the meticulous attention to detail. Again, acting all around is solid, especially Peter Dinklage.

What I Disliked:

Nothing.

Overall:

Game of Thrones delivers another incredible penultimate episode and arguably the best instalment so far. It will be interesting to see if the finale can match its quality, as last season did.

10/10
