I watched Game of Thrones twice and loved it.

"House of the Dragon" is a prequel to Game of Thrones and is mainly the story of the Targaryens., told in a slow and mind-boggling way.

The overall atmosphere and the music are good, and the special effects are good enough. I think the show it is very well played, although the casting is problematic. Some characters are interesting enough, but the story focuses mostly on the female characters ergo the show is flat and dull. There is no room for suspense here, at the larger scale of the story.

It's a slow burn and It is interesting about 10 ~20%, the rest is mostly a soap opera with some sex-related stuff.

In my opinion, the "PC" culture has affected this series on every level, from casting to storytelling.

For now, House of the Dragon (2022-) falls in the spectrum of mediocrity and it made me wonder which category of viewers it is intended for...
