Unfortunately, while still enjoyable, for the lack of something somehow equivalent, the show lacks the maturity (dragons and zombies excluded) and fierceness of the original GOT. It feels like Disney adaptation smartly engineered to be syndicated to the widest array of buyers and audiences. Everything the original was not. While I still - like many - had issues with the supernatural, unnecessary elements of dragons and zombies (not yet appeared in this one), House of the Dragon, seems like kids in a school play. The plot seems the well-trodden one, with heir issues and all that we have quite digested to death.
