Since the success of Game of Thrones, many fantasy shows have sprung up on the different streaming services. In my opinion most of these feel generic and rather unimaginative, they mostly even look the same. House of the Dragon does not. Yes, it looks similar to Game of Thrones but that only makes sense since it takes place in the same universe. It really feels like a GoT prequel and the quality seems to be on par with the original show thus far. The cast is very good, the sets look great and, unlike most modern fantasy shows, the story is interesting and immersive with well-written characters that don't fit stereotypical fantasy tropes. I'm really enjoying Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, but the entire cast does a pretty good job. This show is truly a breath of fresh air and I hope it maintains this quality throughout the rest of the show.
