Game of Thrones’ latest episode, The Bells, is the worst reviewed in show’s history
Hindustan TimesNow that the dust has settled on King’s Landing, Game of Thrones’ latest episode, The Bells, has been adjudicated the worst-reviewed chapter of its entire eight season run. The action-packed episode has beaten out season five’s Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken - which gained notoriety for featuring a brutal rape scene - with a score of 48% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s critical consensus, based on 31 reviews, reads, “Death, destruction, and the deterioration of Daenerys’ sanity make The Bells an episode for the ages; but too much plot in too little time muddles the story and may leave some viewers -- and maybe Cersei -- feeling its conclusions are a little unearned.” The Atlantic’s David Sims wrote, “In general, this episode was beautifully executed and really well-acted, with a lot of clean action and intelligent cross-cutting between set pieces. But it felt so hollow to me, the narratives stakes entirely obliterated, once Daenerys made her move.” Grey Worm leads the charge in Game of Thrones’ latest episode.
