House of the Dragon

This has to be one of the best spinoffs ever made. This is a show where you can't be playing on your phone, cooking dinner or doing something else, it requires your undivided attention. It's a show that never gets stale. I can't remember ever being bored, even for one episode. I loved every second of every episode and I think you will to if you give it a chance. The one thing I didn't like was the time jump came to early. I would've liked to seen more of the earlier episode years. I've already watched this show twice from beginning to end. It can't wait for season 3 to get here.

Season 1 had such a great pace. We moved through years in 2 or 3 episodes, which allowed for the story to move along and milestones to be achieved. This season we are 4 episodes in and the story has only moved a few weeks. This show is eerily slow and nothing is happening. The Dameon story line is boring and useless. Rhanerya has been absent in most of the episodes and not making any decisions. The show writers listened to wasteful criticism from some of last year's audience members, who complained the pace was too fast and now they have destroyed the show!!!! You can't take everyone's critique too serious. This show is way tooo slow and it has lost it magic from last year.

This work has reached an unparalleled level of awfulness, the worst episodes are in the second season.

I'm tired and angry at this work and the stupid games the writers are playing. I didn't expect the series to reach such a level of triviality and disgust that has reached its peak. In reality, this is the price of GRRM selling the rights to his world after spending a long period of his life on it. You write and leave, and it ends up in the hands of a network that doesn't care about quality, and they team up with some bad writers, who I'm too embarrassed to call them writers, and then HBO put them in an animal barn instead of a writing room.

This ugly quality only comes from an animal barn, and I believe even if you were in an animal barn, you would be able to produce better ideas and writings, better than the work of the writers of House of the Dragons who think they can write innovative and new lines better than the original source... Unfortunately, this is the painful result.

Season 2 was a catapulted storm-not as great as Season 1, but still a brutal, calculated build-up to chaos. The ending was fire-Triarchy's fleet advancing, Velaryons ready, dragons unleashed, and the Arryns, Starks, Lannisters, Riverlands, and Hightowers all racing toward a bloody collision. Every episode was like a slow tightening of the noose, building toward something massive. This wasn't just a setup-it was the start of annihilation.

And to the GoT fanboys stuck worshipping Seasons 4-6: wake up. Your so-called "peak TV" was just budget battles, sexposition, and Tyrion recycling the same drunk jokes. House of the Dragon has already outclassed that overrated mess in depth, tension, and storytelling.

First of all, I don't want to give this series a 10/10, especially right now, but I'm going to keep it at 10 because I still have hopes for a third season, and that's only because it's a Game of Thrones spin-off, and I hope the directors don't screw it up. The funny thing is, they still have a source book and writer alive! Wow, this is a complete and utter disaster. The reason I'm so upset is because they're dragging out a second season just to make money, making scenes from the books pointlessly ineffective and absurd. That's the only thing that bothers me, and I feel like the first season is slowly losing its quality.
