I will give credit to some of the actors, editors and visual effect crew who must have had a very difficult time putting this together.

The actors clearly had a difficult script and plot to work with and look like they genuinely tried their best. The screenwriting, direction, scripting and plot are laughable at best. The visual effects vary dramatically between scenes and episodes, with some being stunning and immersive and others appearing more like a first draft edit. I'm not a GoT fanatic yet this was a let down.

Seems everything is rushed. Lots of gaps. Characters are not likable just mean. No one to cheer for.

they actually replaced main actress character that carried the whole show. With her show was decent at least.. There was a father and daughter bond. there was soul. There was potential. There was hope. Now there is nothing.

This first season is breathlessly racing through character development,time periods and plots. You can barely orient yourself before an unaccounted for period has passed.

This shows grave mistake is it's limited focus and confusing pace because the rest is still considerably good. Expand

Se ha cambiado la raza de la Casa Velaryon de tal modo que resulta absurdo decir que provengan de Valyria o estén emparentados con los Targaryen. No hay un interés real en crear un producto de calidad, sino más bien por vender doctrina y dar algunos golpes de efecto (además siempre mal compuestos). Expand

The series is OK. It's not great. I've seen 8 episodes already and I am not impressed. To be honest, I am watching it, because I want to be back in the world of Westeros.

To be honest, I am watching it, because I want to be back in the world of Westeros. I can't speak for anyone else. But, when I rewatch season 1 of Game of Thrones, I see a significant difference in Quality writing and acting.

One would think, that the new series would at least, up their level of writing and acting. But, comparing both season 1 of Game of Thrones with what I see from season 1 of House of the Dragon, Game of Thrones is far superior.

I am not a fantasy genre fan. I am just a casual watcher, who likes to watch good shows and movies. So far, I have yet to see anything from House of the Dragon, that would suggest that it's better than Game of Thrones. In any way.

I am not trying to bad-mouth the series. This is not my intention. I am making an observation.

I am quite sure, that there are people who love what they are seeing, from House of the Dragon. To each his own.

Again. I will watch House of the Dragon, because I enjoy the world of Westeros. Hopefully, HBO has more spinoffs coming out soon. But, House of the Dragon is OK. It's not GREAT.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Some ok intrigue with very little character development. Instead of focusing on the story at hand, the series finds itself more preoccupied with bludgeoning the viewer, harder than the flail shot Daemon took, with heavy handed messages every time you think it is starting to be enjoyable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This show is SO disappointing, I'm not sure if it can even be saved (NOTE: This review was submitted after Season 1, Episode 4), and this is coming from somebody who absolutely loved the GOT series so much that he read the books -- and I'm not normally a book reader. The biggest problem: There isn't a single remotely likable character. Not one. I mean, in GOT, right off the bat, you took a liking to all the Starks, Jon Snow, Tyrion, Daenerys, Jorah, et al., and even respected the deceitful, ambitious climbers like Varys and Littlefinger, who exchanged exhilarating barbs many a times, as well as the morally bankrupt, uber power-hungry Tywin, Cersei, Joffrey, and to a lesser extent, Jaime. The second biggest failing is the dialogue is just so "meh." Whereas I used to marvel at the cleverly written interplay between characters, this just feels like we're getting B-list writers for the prequel and/or folks who are just there to collect a paycheck. On top of all that, then you've got the mega cringe non-stop incest and on-screen adult/child sex scenes because, ya know, Hellywood gotta Hellywood and they're clearly using social engineering to make pedophilia mainstream. Disgusting. In fact, for the mainstream reviewers/critics/talking heads who gave this show high marks, kinda makes you wonder about them, but I digress. In sum: If you were hoping for a prequel that's even half as good as the original GOT series, I, for one, believe you will be sadly disappointed. Expand

Okay the last two seasons of Game of Thrones were a lot weaker than the first six. But they never got to the point where House of the Dragon seems to stay for at least the first four episodes I have seen now. Boring!
There are some pretty good actors and the p[roduction value is high. However that can not make up for the poor, unimaginative and plainly boring story. There are a few dragons flying around but that's as close as it gets to fantasy. It's a plain old "princess has to marry" story. and it's not even told particularly well...I'm going to try to watch the whole season but I might not bee able to keep my eyes open...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I thoroughly enjoyed this show until the 'time jump' in episode 6. Two of the central characters were suddenly swapped out for people we don't recognize. Several characters aged except for Criston (who looked exactly the same), making the transition more difficult. There is no art or deft in this move to adulthood. 5 episodes of developing characters wiped out by an inept swap of new actors in episode 6 ruined the series. Expand

La maison du dragon, c’est pareil mais avec un dragon qui pousse sur le trône et même qu’il est vénère… du moins, en théorie. Parce qu’en fait, plus personne ne pousse là-dedans ou si peu : tout le monde taille le bout de gras… ça parle à n’en plus pouvoir, c’est à dormir debout !

Du coup, on dort à poings fermés… et lorsqu’on arrive à relever la tête, c’est pour mieux replonger aussitôt dans un sommeil profond ! c’est en effet la série la plus soporifique, la plus ennuyeuse qu’on ait jamais vue… ou plutôt tenté de voir. Parce qu’en fait, personne ne l’a vue jusqu’au bout, y compris le dragon qui s’est barré en Alaska.

I don't know the books for this at all but the series is doing a great job of presenting the world and characters. In the best way possible, politics and war feel personal.

Really eager to see where this goes. I have to commend the art design, which despite a few wonky CG moments has provided a few legitimate "Wow!"s from me.
