Like so many people, I had high hopes for this show based on the multi-dimensional successes of GOT. Imagine my disappointment after committing to six episodes of some of the most boring, detached TV I've ever seen. The entire thing feels like a contradiction - somehow the writers have managed to rush the season while simultaneously failing to generate any interest whatsoever. It's Game Of Thrones with neither intrigue nor action. I'm left feeling nothing for the characters and thus, disconnected from the plot altogether, and I wager that if it weren't for reputation of this show's predecessor, House of The Dragon would be sitting at a dwindling 5 stars on IMDb. It certainly doesn't deserve the 8+ rating that it currently holds...
