House of the Dragon (2022– )
1/10
Meh start, glorified soap opera with occasional dragon
30 September 2022
Warning: Spoilers
This shows being treated like it's 5 perfect seasons of breaking bad or four perfect seasons of GOT. This show has promise but lacks the heart that GOT displayed. Part of that is the constant time jumps that are skipping over any possible character development that might have been possible for viewers to enjoy. The wigs are godawful and so far through one season it is a soap opera with dragons every few episodes. The dialogue is clunky at times and over all lacks the wittiness from GOT.

There's just not enough screen time and depth into the characters so far for you to feel the attachedness you felt by the middle of season 1 of GOT. And to be honest they didn't deserve Paddy or Matt Smith

Still it is worth the watch and you can feel maybe just maybe they are on the cusp of something worthy of the GOT ties coming eventually but the wigs need major updates for season 2 and the dialogue and pacing needs a major overhaul. Honestly looking forward to the SNOW show I trust Kit Harrington more than any show runner involved with this.
