Rhaenyra Triumphant spends its entire runtime sitting in the discomfort of getting exactly what you wanted and finding out it kind of sucks, and the direction makes you feel every bit of it. Claustrophobic close ups, wide shots with characters crushed to the bottom of the frame, a tonal ringing from Rhaenyra's perspective, sharp violin transitions. It is Sorkin mixed with Paul Thomas Anderson mixed with Yorgos Lanthimos. We break down why this episode stands completely apart from anything else the show has done.
