House of The Dragon’s first reactions are out; and critics have labelled it as “a worthy successor to Game of Thrones”
The House of The Dragon world premiere was held very recently, and while the show’s patriarch George R. R. Martin couldn’t attend the event, the cast, the crew, several celebrities and renowned critics did, and so far their reactions have been largely positive. The Game of Thrones prequel is one of the most anticipated series of 2022, and after the disaster of Season 8 of the original show, House of The Dragon lights a candle of hope in the hearts of the most stern of critics. Let’s have a look at what some of them have to say:
Here's something I think I can say to stir the pot until 8/21. There is something in the premiere episode of HOTD that would be considered high ASOIAF heresy were it not the active involvement and blessing of GRRM. I'm very curious what the theorycrafters will do with it. https://t.co/O06z2BeXZo

I did not like the last season of #GameofThrones. At all. But I’ll admit the series premiere of #HouseOfTheDragonHBO is really well done and I’ll definitely continue watching. After the episode ended they showed an extended preview of the season and looks cool. pic.twitter.com/wzuIMkZWe0

The #HouseOfTheDragonHBO pilot very efficiently explains its context in relation to GoT, introduces its core characters, and lays out the central conflict of the series. It's an easy to follow premiere with vibrant colors and detailed texture. Absolutely a worthy successor so far pic.twitter.com/3lARILHfuv

For those curious about the series, without spoilers, I can say that the thing I really dig is the fact that it still feels epic in scale and scope while telling a personal and intimate story about one family, showcasing both their love and dysfunction
