Everything could have worked out here. The actors are gorgeous, the scenery is unparalleled, the characters are interesting, and at first it seemed like a solid plot with filigree dialogues. But by episode 6, I bitterly have to admit that "House of the Dragon" is stillborn and nothing can save it. Changing the actresses and yet leaving many of the minor characters as they were, depriving us of even the rudiments of empathy for anyone at all. The whole tattered, rushed, trying to intrigue every second of the plot has become a dopamine-tinged irritant of frame changes. There's nowhere to breathe, and in this stuffiness, things get even worse and more ridiculous. The perpetually tedious female labor, on and on, in circles. The only confrontation between the princess and the queen that doesn't fall almost out of frame, after the change of actresses looks sterilized and failed. The same thing happens to absolutely all the characters by episode 6 and I don't think they can get out of this hole anymore. It's boring, drab, all reduced to childbirth and facial grimaces, Dragon Downton Abbey is no different.
