GOT had it all in spades , house of dragon while has very good credentials seems to be missing the laugh out loud moments that came with GOT which made the doom and gloom more manageable. It seems to be deliberately dour and what about poor old paddy considine, he has been dying for an age, there is not much left of him.

Overall the show is well put together and flows nicely but can be confusing in parts and I feel you may need to leave a trail of cookie crumbs to piece the plot together from the early to later episodes. The dragons are pretty impressive but I would prefer less palace intrigue and more individual story arcs developed.
