Game of Thrones seasons 1-7 were one of the best in television history. A successful, captivating, well-written story with mostly accurate casting (except the fact Targaryens in the book have purple eyes and are very tall, thin and striking, Tyrion has a very deformed face etc.) and very memorable faces for our characters. House of Dragon personally just lacks the memorability, it was a pretty bad casting, the characters do not have the look or the vibe of the characters in the book.

The first two episodes were mildly boring, completely deprived of the shock we experienced watching the first episode of GoT. Still, the camera is amazing, beautiful scenery and there you can see the budget. Still, the huge budget does not help the way the story is being told.
