Important, Immersive, Giant and Powerful. Words that define the first episode. It felt like I was back in Game of Thrones, not being in Game of Thrones. HBO just got off to a good start

Story feels well paced, I’m glad there not jumping straight into the dance. Dragons are awesome and each is unique. Best costumes of any show and I’m not one to notice things like that. The sets are all around very gorgeous visually.

There are some major problems with this show.

There is a level ofThere are some major problems with this show. Not in the least that every male character is either trying to simp his way into power, or is a toxic sociopath wanting to murder, steal and lie his way to the top. There is a level of incompetence here that suggests that the writers hate men, despite - in some cases - being them.

By contrast, all the female characters are powerful, charismatic and constantly fighting against the male gaze, the demands of the patriarchy, and plots by those women foolish enough to actually fall in love with a man.

What IS done well, is the political intrigue, most of the costumes, the CG for the dragons, and the scenery.

Overall, I'm interesting to see where this goes, and am willing to give it a chance to develop. In most aspects it covers the lore pretty well, for the most part maintaining the narrative integrity of the universe in which it is set.

Writers really need to start developing more interesting male characters. Completely sick of the trope that we are all sociopathic, self-serving, women haters unless we can control them - in which case they become tolerable.… Expand

What a pleasant surprise. Yes it’s got the usual woke agenda for hating anything WM and HETRO but it’s done almost tastefully they don’t go overboard on the people of today for the sins of the past. The acting is fantastic, unlike the Rings of Power as is the story line and pacing of the first couple of episodes. Daemon and Rhaenyra are well fleshed out and both actors are fantastic. The show seems to be fit into the world as it has been written un like previously mentioned RofP. Looks like Monday and not Friday’s are the highlight of the week. Well done HBO.… Expand

As someone who loves fantasy, this show is nice refreshment to the genre. The plot is interesting, it has development, things are set in motion. It is also what one can expect from a show set in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, brutal, unforgiving, honest in what it wants to tell the audience. The characters are gray, some more than others, they all have good sides and flaws, and their development is really interesting to follow.

The first season is not as good as season 4 of GoT but is about as good as Season 2 in my opinion. I have never read the books, so my review will solely rely on the show through the first 6 episodes. I see a lot of reviews with low scores due to "wokeness." As someone who is opposed to woke politics being needlessly injected into entertainment, I am surprised to see so many people saying this series is woke because I have not noticed any modern political agendas in this series, and at no point have I felt like I was being lectured by the writers. Similar to the first 4-5 seasons of GoT, this series almost solely focuses on the politics of Westeros and Esteros, and the politics of the world are what made GoT and make this series so enjoyable. The dialogue and acting are excellent. So far, the first 5 episodes felt like they were utilized to set up big events later in the season. The fighting scene was great, and the dragons look very cool too. I recommend ignoring those labeling this show as "woke" and watching this series. I can tell George was heavily involved, because the story is well-crafted and does not pull any punches!… Expand

I'll be honest. I had some reservations about how well would House of the Dragon be capable to deliver the world of George R. R. Martin. And deliver it does.

Not only does it feel like Game of Thrones, but the cast is for the most part very well chosen. With most actors and actresses, delivering solid performances and being capable of pulling us into their world, their lives, their intrigues, their agendas. But above all making the viewer care about those characters.

Not that many shows can claim to be able to do that. But this one can. And it's good because after season 8 of Game of Thrones, the story needed to be focused on something else that makes us forget about that season.

And although the fall of House Targaryen is something we know it's going to happen no matter what, at least the show is being done well enough that even knowing that, doesn't really matter. It's a show that has proven to have what it takes to be seen and appreciated.

My only hope right now is that the success doesn't go to their heads, and they start making rookie mistakes. Game of Thrones lost the race in the last meters of the race, so I really hope that House of the Dragon doesn't make the same mistake.

Other than that three episodes in, and this show has come out strong and with enough fire to burn long and wide, instead of burning bright and fading just as fast.

This show is definitely a must see. And those that don't watch it will only lose.… Expand

It's thrilling send chills to my spine, I wished aomehow it was better appreciated, of course its not a clear game changer, like what game of thrones was at the time. But the formula is excellent why venture away from perfection. At least is fair to the source material, unlike Rings of power. Very happy because last episodes of Game of thrones left me cold.… Expand

It's an enjoyable show giving the vibe of the early seasons of GoT thankfully and it will demolish the stupid joke which is Rings of Power by a thousand miles

The series begins great greatfully.
It has the potential to become a great spin-off like Better Call Saul.
First Ep was awsume.

House of the dragon is an example of an adaptation that respects the original work. Well crafted, produced and with a talented cast, it's a great start to the long-awaited prequel.

Just wow! This show delivered, and how! It has that essence, that DNA of GoT, but is also different and refreshing. It has more of a medieval, crude vibe, which I'm thankful for. It promises to be one of the greatest shows of our time.

Pleasantly surprised after the disappointment of GOT final season, this really feels like old GOT again. Really promising start with compelling and interesting characters.

Being honest, this serie is a great thing, we can't avoid this. While the last episodes from Game of Thrones were piece of s..., this season of HOTD is coming with a great story about Targaryen's House.

So far there are 3 race swapped Targaryens. The problem with these characters are not the colour of their skin it's their acting ability. When you need to tick a box and choose people for diversity you then limit your pool of actors you can choose from. We have seen poor acting time and time again when they are just a tick box choice. We need to move on from this and choose the best person for the job regardless of skin colour. Needing more diversity is a twitter trend by a bunch of weirdos who just want to argue and create conflict. Onto the positives. Compared to the rings of power House of dragon succeeds in many areas. It has some really good casting and likeable characters. Matt Smith as Daeman is the main standout for me. He is fantastic. Milly Alcock who I have never heard of before is another standout. Fabian Frankel as Sir Criston is a good side character. There is actual character development in play here. Compared to rings of power the writing is night and day. It's engaging and makes you want to keep watching. The show is not perfect but it has suprised me and I will happily continue watching… Expand

Do you know, why "The House of the Dragon" floats and "The Rings of Power" cannot?

Loving the show as a family drama, but (for me) lacks the fantasy feeling that I got with Game of Thrones.

A remarkable achievement spanning decades of time. Characters you quickly come to love or loathe. Emotional reach beyond what you would expect from the Blood soaked tales from Westeros.

It bugged me that it's somewhat blunt in its allegory of patriarchy, repeating too much the women's ineligibility for the throne, while the existence of non-consort queens was in fact not that rare in the Middle-Ages. It has also diverted in some things from the book, trying to be more dramatic, but in the attempt it ended up a bit childish, so not sure adults will be as hooked as they were with GoT.
Whether because of the limited scope, or because the book is not as fleshed out as the previous, it ends up not reaching the standard GoT created, yet it is still entertaining.
The score, the artistic direction, and the CGI (dragons included), and especially the costumes, are all great.… Expand
