4/10 for House of the Dragon.
- Overly dramatic for the first episode, giving us no time to form connections to the family as opposed to rushing to their deaths.
- Really wild scenes of violence that do not make sense? A joust doesn't turn into a melee and a melee is not meant to be fatal.
- The retconned reasons for the Targaryen's traveling to Westeros and conquering it being included. Forgot about this admittedly, but when I heard it "and the prophecy of ice and fire" made me roll my god damn eyes so hard.
Hope the show goes slower, they have 5 seasons and don't need to go so quickly.
