I finally gave up watching this during episode five. I just don't care about any of the characters or anything that is happening. House of the Dragon feels like the modern equivalent of the Phantom Menace.

I haven't read the book(s?) its based on so maybe there's all sorts of great things that are going to happen at some point but, judging by what I've seen so far, no amount of great storylines are going to save this TV show from whoever is responsible for the complete mess I've seen so far.

I've read that it gets even worse in episode six but I don't have the patience to get that far. Waste of a good cast too.
