Tried the first episode, twice, and couldn't get to the end. I'm just tired. Tired of having a female character whose character arc is proving to sexist men how much better than them she is. I'm also tired of identity politics; I watched maybe a third of the episode, and so far there were two minority characters: the first is giving good advice but is ignored by the king for no reason, and the other is a maester's disciple (I think) who does the maesters work for him while being looked down on.

S1: 70 S2: 30 After a solid first season the second season is mostly wondering how long a boring side character can stand on the shipping dock having inconsequential conversations (the answer is: an entire season. isn't that boat gonna sink with so much cargo on board?) Let's hope the writer strike had something to do with the truly abysmal quality of this season, but i fear it's game over. The disorienting ending montage medley was by far worst work Djawadi has done, awful unpolished midi vibes

A welcome return to the world of Westeros, although it has an unforseen problem: the pacing of the story. I wish someone would create a shorter version where the first 8 episodes are pushed together to maybe 2-3 hours. The story is good, it just really needs to progress faster. The final episode ends with a real cliffhanger which I never like with TV shows. Otherwise there are many improvements from Game of Thrones, and I am eager to see Season 2 which will hopefully be more eventful.

Finished season 1, and am impressed. It is disproportionately focused on inter-royal family throne squabbling, even compared to Game of Thrones. But besides that if you want dark gritty political fantasy with some gory violence and dragons this more than hits the spot. Generally phenomenal production values / sets / effects, often big screen epic level stuff. Even gives actors some real complex characters and material to chew on (shout out to Paddy Considine). Could have used more boobs tho tbh.

Couple spoilers - I thought the chemistry between Smith and Alcock was pretty good and getting better. The way they switched out the actors and jumped ahead in time was annoying. It threw off the rhythm and stifled what was becoming a more aggressive story. The Prince Valiant character makes no sense. One moment he’s humble servant of the realm. Then he bangs the princess and is willing to forgo all that. He’s entitled enough to get pissy and heartbroken when she refuses to run away with him?

A lavish but uneven prequel—where ”dragon civil war” politics and Paddy Considine’s tragic Viserys shine, yet rushed time jumps butcher emotional payoffs. The ”Crown with scales” vibe? Engaging. The ”Blood & Cheese” moment? Coming soon… maybe.

It isn't a huge mess (like Rings of Power) which is a win but House of the Dragon is way smaller in scope than what I grew accustomed to with Game of Thrones. The characters are complex and interesting and it looks fantastic, but the plot isn't always as engaging to justify all 10 episodes.

Engaging story, but I may be biased by reading the novel. Well acted, suspenseful, great set, sometimes the dialog is too hard to keep track of, because one cannot simply remember the names of all the characters and places.

Inbred jerry springer with a bunch of albino rejects. Lacks the charm of it's predecessor series. Only seen season 1 and have no plan to watch more, there was a few good parts to keep it from being a 0. Weak dialogue, takes itself too seriously compared to GoT and lacks heavily in likable characters. Relies on it's actors to make faces and shoot glances to tell it's story, problem is, they are all either listless mouthbreathers or groomer P words with the same lipless smirk the entire show.

Love this show. It was much better the second time I watched season 1. Probably because I could watch the whole ting in a couple of days. The characters are very intresting and just like Game of thrones the special effects are truly amazing. This look sooo much better on physical media than on HBO. Compared to GOT it`s easier to follow because there are less stories going one at once.

House of the Dragon is not as immediately gripping as it's predecessor and, with some patience, this actually comes to be a good thing. The characters are much more well-rounded and morally murky and their situations are even more politically complex. This definitely leads to some headaches when the writing falters but there is a solid case that this is the best Westeros show to date.

The halfway actor switch was good for absolutely nothing. Also, what is up with the night episode that was actually shot during the day? Very poor editing on that.

Series were just made for when you're laying sick in your bed. HoTD is definitely a step up from the cluster fucks GoT left us with. The focus on one of the houses works well and the performances are all top-notch. Sometimes the script is way too eager for showing conflict though and the CGI is often horrible.

A step below the "golden age" of Game of Thrones but the last three-ish episodes get pretty close. Having spoiled myself about the story at the height of GoT mania, it sets it up so the remaining seasons might possibly be the best GRRM misery porn yet. Cast is really strong, although poor Rhys Ifans has to do one note throughout. Matt Smith (like in the first 2 seasons of The Crown) is the heavy lifter as the cruel asshole who is both the cause of and solution to many of the problems that arise.

S1-86 S2-65; much more issues with writing feeling inconsequential, characters making out of character decision, plot holes (Rhanys turning back? Dragons never in their existence prior finding a bastard rider? List goes on). Unsatisfying ending Good acting and effects

It's good. It feels "Thrones-y". The characters aren't as interesting as "Thrones" and the story isn't as gripping.

With even higher production values than Game of Thrones and comparable excellence of acting, this remains a favorite source for the consumption of intrigue with a side of brutality. It has no dearth of glaring flaws, but within a logic where everyone important is an unscrupulous, conniving and occasionally murder-prone snake, it's actually a very intelligent work of low fantasy, with only serviceably-written but spectacularly filmed world-building.

S1: 65 | S2: 50 | Great first episode, the five that follow kinda dragged since there were few good characters, and the constant time skips made it hard to get invested. Things did however get pretty spicy starting at episode 7. I didn’t have much hope for a prequel focusing on just one of the houses, but I’m optimistic about the future of this show. Edit: Season 2 has a few good moments, but is mostly a bunch of nothing.

Had no interest or hope for this coming in, but was very pleasantly surprised. Keeps the astounding technical work from GOT, the world feels tactile and lived in, unlike most fantasy shows. The first few episodes, I was worried the sole focus on political/familial intrigue was going to get boring, but it did not. Great characters (especially Viserys) kept me invested through time jumps. The brutal intrigue never grew dull. I was always eager to piece out the new political/familial fault lines.

For me it was a sterile borefest. This is weird especially given how much gore and sex is being thrown around as if they are a background motif. I'm not excited enough to follow up further seasons and I'm rather sure if this series was the first GOT thing, it would hardly garner any interest. Update S2: no change, watchable, just run of the mill.

Until episode 7 it felt like a story arc off GoT rather than a standalone TV show. We shall see where it goes, but e07 raised it up a notch for sure.

3 episodes so far. Gave an 85 initially. Then they changed the cast. Made me stop watching after episode 4. The worst decision was replacing Allcock as Rhenyra as she was mesmerising. Below was my original review upto episode 3. (The casting is much better than GOT. Not beautiful people but more real with their flaws visible. Story is more drama than fantasy, but well made. Writing is excellent and addictive. The world is much smaller so far and some plot lines seem rather contrived (the cra

Ep 1 was a shadow of GoT. Plastic costumes, cheap sets, soulless knock off soundtrack, more CGI than practical effects, wooden acting, mediocre casting & green screens galore. Not to mention choppy edits, stiff & linear directing and lines that could have been written by a melodramatic high schooler with no life experience. The main char was intended to echo/foreshadow Dany, but lacks all of her pre-season 7 charisma and depth - she just is too busy “girlbossing” to be likeable or real.
