Critic Reviews
House of the Dragon (2022) Review: A Dynasty Eats Itself
★★★★☆
House of the Dragon is HBO's Game of Thrones prequel, a sumptuous Targaryen family tragedy about a contested succession that slides the realm into civil war.
Yes, with reservations. It is a handsome, well-acted return to Westeros for fantasy and political-drama fans, though its slow pace and time jumps test patience.
