the first episode of House of the Dragons was honestly pretty promising
The cgi for the dragons, ehhhh idk really know how to feel about those— Akooo (@minikotm) August 22, 2022
First episode of House of the Dragon was solid. Very much just more GoT, but closer to S5 than S8.

Zero to 100 mph by the end of the first episode. Preview of coming episodes look awesome. My one complaint is the dragons. They don’t really look up to par. I know they are different in color by lack detail as in GoT. The young actor playing Princess Rheanyra, Milliy Alcott, is great with hints of Daenerys. Too bad the series changes over to an older Rheanyra. Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen will be hated just as much as Jack Gleeson’s role as King Joffrey.
