Quick update: I'm now at episode 5 and when speaking to my sister about which shows I'm watching on HBO, and I totally forgot I was watching this. That's how forgettable this show is.

So, the story of House of the Dragon takes place about 200 years before GoT, and personally I can feel that, but not in a good way.

The series starts with exposition about who's gonna rule when the king dies a man or a woman, and surprise! It the woma... No it's the man. I got no problem with that, but where Game of Thrones was shocking, and kept you on the edge of your seat each week! This feels bland and uninteresting.

I literally couldn't care less if they killed the main character at this point, because I don't care about any of these people.

I've also been taken a bit away with the dragons in the show. Not the much the design, I quickly got used to the very long neck and fishy kind of tail on the red dragon. But I don't feel like they blend in as good as they did in GoT. This could be because the budget is smaller for this show but I don't know.

I'm probably gonna keep watching the season, but if they don't start turning down the political BS, and start bringing some character for me to care about, that's probably all I'm gonna watch.

If you have high expectations for the show, I would say kill them like they killed Oberyn Martellin in GoT, because it will not live up to that.

If you have no expectations, then yeah, I'd recommend... I'd recommend just watching Game of Thrones because then you probably didn't watch that 😉
