I gave House of Dragon a go. I did not like the first episode as it was full of the GOT format I didn't care for. I thought it was getting better a few more episodes, particularly with the character and story development in the beginning, which seemed a little more consistent and you can actually care a bit more about a few of the characters.

But that was shortly lived, it started to be as ridiculous as GoT, characters change and behave randomly despite their past experience and perceived well/worse for whatever suited the narrative for the episode. The alliances between factions make no sense given what some characters did to members of their families and people that they cared for a minute ago.

Same soap opera crap, weak story and characters, full of sensationalist tactics with dragons and medieval aesthetics thrown in to make you think it's a fantasy.

There's only one character left I could maybe get, the rest of them are I really don't care for watching.
