‘House of the Dragon,’ explained: An episode-by-episode guide

LA Times  

With “House of the Dragon,” TV critic Lorraine Ali writes in her review, HBO has produced a worthy heir to “Game of Thrones” — which means that tongues will once again be wagging every Sunday at whatever bloody weddings, trials by combat, naval battles and sept bombings the writers can come up with. The Times TV team will be with you — and 10 or so million of your closest friends — every step of the way with episode-by-episode recaps, explainers and deep dives into the world of Westeros, 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen. We’ll let you know which characters and houses to keep an eye on as the new prequel unfurls, analyze key scenes, offer context on a complicated fictional universe and speak to the talent behind the show about how it all came together. And with the series already renewed for Season 2, no one is winning outright anytime soon.
