The word that comes to mind is hollow. There is too much CGI, too much violence and not enough interesting characters in our introduction to this world. The actors do well with the the material they have but they do not portray characters that I want to see more of. There is no depth to this world like there was in Game of Thrones. I will continue to watch for a while but there is no sense of mystery here, nothing to foreshadow or keep the audience invested in figuring out. So if you watched Game of Thrones just for the battle and sex scenes (and the dragons) this show may be for you. But if you loved the storytelling and world creation (of the first seasons anyway), I'm afraid House of the Dragon is not going to satisfy.
