The original series is so much better than this. In Game of Thrones, the conversations were the action scenes. Characters subtlety and sometimes not so subtlety jousting each other with words. Each character flushed out and vivid. Every episode ending with you on the edge of your seat, wanting to know what was going to happen the next week. The focus was jumping around from character to character never quite crossing the line to too much, but competently communicating the story with multiple focuses.

House of the dragon, on the other hand, doesn't have very vivid characters. The uncle character is obviously the most interesting, but other than that everybody's kind of boring. The conversations are definitely not like action scenes, as they are bland and boring themselves. You've taken Game of Thrones and turned it into a coming of age drama. The focus constantly stays on the most boring repetitive characters, who barely move the story forward as they keep doing and saying the same things over and over again. How this has such a high rating, I have no idea.
