King of the Narrow Sea is another outstanding episode, as it manages to explore, once again, all the characters in depth. The pacing is very good, and the episode never gets boring or slow, the costumes are perfect, and the acting is still on a top level, with all the actors acting at their best, it will be sad to see Milly Alcock and Emily Carey leave the cast. Viserys is seen with a different light in the episode, emerging as a strong king, Daemon is again very clever and ambiguous, and his chemistry with Rhaenyra is undeniably good. The conflict between the princess and the queen is increasing and hinting to a future war between the two. The episode shows an important theme, treated in an uncommon way: sexuality; there is a constant juxtaposition between Alicent and Rhaenyra and how they live their lives. However, unlike in Game of Thrones, in this episode the nudity scenes are not free and useless at all, they are built to enhance a character's perception or another, developing their attitudes towards the matter. They are not shown for the mere pleasure of the spectator, they are used to tell a story. Overall, the episode shows a lot of everyday life of King's Landing and uses them to teach more to the protagonists, who are often segregated in the Red Keep. The episode remains outstanding, and the problem of the dialogue seems already fixed, leading to an almost perfect development of the characters, that shows once more that this TV series doesn't need dragons to be good, as they are briefly shown in these four episodes; they are almost secondary characters, witnessing that the writing is perfect. I adore the fact that they are using the show to depict the canon version of the book Fire and Blood, as the latter often shows different versions of the same story.
