It started out as great, but then the writers got confused.

House of the Dragon is an adaption for George R. R. Martin's fake history book "Fire & Blood". I think they were unsure what to believe in the book and tried to mix what their imagination wanted and the book's events... but ended up making a mess.

Episode 4 is where I started getting confused with where they wanted to take the story to, and from there it just got worse. I kept coming back for the performances brought on by Olivia Cooke, Emma D'Arcy, Matt Smith, Paddy Considine, etc. The last two episode were the biggest let downs, personally, and I fear the actors' greatness won't be enough to bring me back for a second season.
