House of The Dragon Review: Fans Declare  Rhaenyra as “Queen” & Also Celebrate the Return Got Theme!

The streets are awash in blood as it is once a more open season. Even if “Game of Thrones”‘ dramatic last season aired in 2019, George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire story is far from over. In 2018, Martin released “Fire & Blood,” a book that details the rise of the Targaryen dynasty. HBO quickly adapted the book under the title House of the Dragon, and the wait for the series is almost over.

House of the Dragon Episode 2 review

What a complicated web we create when we first learn to lie. House of the Dragon launched right into the familiar Game of Thrones-style deceit and planning that makes us all uneasy, bringing to light the sobering realization that, as usual, very few people can be trusted. What’s more, guys in positions of authority keep making bad choices.

Although I’m still not completely sold on Matt Smith’s Daemon, the new House of the Dragon episode was an improvement over the pilot in some ways because it seemed to build more of the foundation for the plot that would follow. Additionally, there was a lot more intrigue. Although he is shown as the enraged antagonist, he doesn’t seem to have much control over a scene, except for a few biting looks and glances. We may reasonably expect a bit more from someone who has previously exposed himself as deceitful, but perhaps it’s still too soon to say that.

The majority of the supporting characters in the program seem gormless and stodgy, which is one of its far more serious issues. In the second episode, there are already clues of a developing relationship for Rhaenyra (which you know is going to go wrong), rumors of a conspiracy, fiery dragons, and numerous grisly deaths at the beginning and conclusion of the episode. But what exactly does House of the Dragon offer that is new? That’s classic Game of Thrones.
