This show wears its political messaging on its sleeve and shoves it in your face. It can be annoying at times and quite obvious what sort of message the show is pushing, but this ultimately has no effect on the quality of the show. Some of the best moments in Game of Thrones were scenes that didn't have any dialogue, a series of visuals would play accompanied by great music. As if you were looking at a series of paintings. These moments I refer to were few and far between in Game of Thrones. In House of the Dragon, these moments occur quite frequently. Strong visual storytelling with great music and great visuals, completely immersed in the visual side of this medium. Almost as if you were watching a silent film. No dialogue necessary. The acting, from the main cast at least, is strong. You can tell the actors are confident in their abilities to act and are unafraid to emote. I find confidence an important factor in good acting. The show also does a great job at conveying the character's emotions through cinematography and camera work. House of The Dragon believes in the motto of showing, not telling. If you enjoyed Game of Thrones, especially episodes such as The Winds of Winter and the episode where Jon Snow and Ramsay Bolton fight, then you will certainly enjoy this series. Don't skip out and don't let the show's politics get in the way of your enjoyment.
