I truly tried to give it a shot... But no matter how many times during the first 10 minutes they called a complete stranger "the princess" , it didn't work. Imagine watching "Forrest Gump" with four different actors instead of brilliant Tom Hanks. How relatable it would be? Or "Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - we would probably have an opportunity to enjoy six or seven of them if "House of the Dragon" crew got a hand on that. I am not sure what was the reason behind the change in multiple cast members, but if it's truly to accommodate the age difference, it could be postponed for at least another decade in the script. Molly Alcock is 22. I'm pretty sure she could play a 28 year old.

My previous 8 star-rating became just one.
