House of the Dragon

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.

Good first season. Some of the events feel skimmed through because of the time skip, some of the consequences to what happens during the course of the show take place off air because of the abruptly timed time skip. One of the main examples for this would be Viserys' reaction to the illicit relationship between his daughter and Daemon on multiple occasions when she was a child or Lord Corlys' long term response to Viserys' rejection of his proposal. And the relationship between Rhanerya and Daemon itself seemed under developed, the only possible reason Rhanerya had to wed him was it would strengthen her claim to the throne, other than their whole relationship was built on cryptic conversation that takes place in the Valryian language. Other than that the show is too immersive and it's hard to take sides as both of them have done many wrongs and are good in certain instances, it was nice to see all that slow burn drama that took place to unfold.

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.

Despite the high anticipation surrounding the series, it's unfortunate that the only captivating element is the presence of dragons. The actors lack charisma, failing to bring their characters to life in a way that engages the audience. This deficiency in performance makes it nearly impossible to form any emotional connections with the characters. The narrative, which could have been enriched by strong, memorable personalities, instead falls flat, leaving viewers disinterested and detached. The dragons, while visually impressive, aren't enough to carry the entire show and redeem its shortcomings.

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.
