Game of Thrones was one of the greatest shows of all time but House of the Dragon was a huge let down.

Thus far with only the 1st episode released all I can say is, House of the Dragon seemed extremely shallow and contrived. All of the characters lack depth and personality. The acting seemed forced and unnatural but imho was probably more the fault of the director than the actors. In fact episode 1 was so bad I highly doubt the show can redeem itself in future episodes.
