So disappointed, truly just a horrible hodge podge of terrible casting and unnecessary gore, that does nothing to further the story. I cannot even imagine trying to sit through another episode. The casting fails and makes it very hard to take anything seriously. I did not come into this show expecting it to be GOT 2.0 which is good thing because this show desperately tries for that but fails. I really really wanted to fall hard for this but it just falls short. No connection to the characters left me not caring what happens next. The only good thing is the DRAGONS! Sad 😭Apparently I can say what I needed to in few words but I have to have 600 so I guess I will reiterate that this new House of the DRAGONS falls short of expectations as a stand alone story with poor casting in Matt Smith and unnecessary violence just for the sake of violence really disappointed.
