They had so much they could play on with this series and it's honestly just so boring. Game of thrones had so much going on and it was just a genuinely great show with the exception of the last two seasons which were, well, not great. It feels like they brought that lazy writing back for The house of the dragon because your not really rooting for anyone in this show. It felt like the whole season just drug on. With glimpses of action here and there, then we're back to dragging the show on. It just not even close to what I was expecting. I thought with GRRM on board it was gonna being this amazing show and I'm hoping they get it together for season 2 because I hate to see such an amazing fantasy world to be butchered.
