4 episodes in and this isbutterly predictable with minimally engaging individual performances. I can't get around the feeling that they are just recycling old story lines. While both Grey Worm and Missandei were absolutely horrendous performances in GoT, House of the Dragon seems to make mediocre acting the new normal. Nothing about this has been special so far, not even the CGI. Hard to believe someone signed off on this. I really hope that the character arcs and the plot thickens at least somewhat, because if it continues like this, I'm not sure I'll be able to continue to watch it.

I understand that this is based on one of Martin's novel, but surely there has to be a way to make this less terrible than it ultimately is.
