House of the Dragon ep 1 review: GOT prequel adopts its worst qualities

Hindustan Times  

Watching the first episode of HBO's House of the Dragon made me really question the television taste of my younger self. But right now, fresh off the first viewing of its prequel House of the Dragon, I wonder if it could be among the cheapest, yuckiest epic fantasy on the offer. Loaded with unimaginable scenes of violence, pain, suffering and torture, Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon appears to have learnt all the wrong lessons from its predecessor. Of course, past me would have totally lapped it up as great, first-tier television but the me that is now has seen far better shows now about women's suffering, succession drama, and epic fantasy to give this one an easy pass.
