Good start, I'm engaged and looking forward to the next episode. The writing is solid, much better than the jr. College crap that's in Rings of Power. Hey Amazon, maybe you can poach the writing room from this show to fix that train wreck you have going on. Or maybe they could get some ideas about: pacing, character introductions, story arc and how to use exposition.

These characters are engaging; I want to get to now them better. I am curious how far Hightower will push his daughter to get with the king. The jousting was brutal and seemed genuine. Much better than the troll fighting scen where Galadriel Mary-sued her way to effortless victory.

Once again, this show is much more engaging that Rings of Power. If you only have room for one fantasy show, House of Dragons is your better bet.
