"House of the Dragon" is a 2022 fantasy TV series, prequel to "Game of Thrones" and is based on the book Fire and Blood by George R. R. Martin. The HBO series was co-created by Ryan J. Condal. It was directed by a group including Clare Kilner and Miguel. The stars include Matt Smith, Paddy Considine and Olivia D'Arcy.
172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, saw the story of "House of the Dragon". It's based on an event in Westerosi history called Dance of the Dragons, a time of great civil war and bloodshed. Season One is set at the beginning before the infamous war. The princess Rhaenyra is the eldest child of king Viserys Taragryen, and was made heir to the Iron Throne. The king is sad by the loss of his wife, and then chooses to remarry but he chooses Alicent Hightower, a childhood friend of the princess. Issues arise when Alicent gives the king sons and it makes Rhaenyra less likely to be queen anymore
The rest of the story unfolds and time passes by, and we see more characters, dragons and places. Plenty of tensions going on, with a lot of violence and death all the way through. There's 10 episodes in the first season. Experience some time jumps and expect to see characters age. The CGI is amazing for television, and mostly it gives the sense of actually being there. The costumes, sets, castles and dragons are impressive. It's got plenty of gore, magic and monsters for anyone who likes both fantasy and horror genres.
This is a masterpiece so I rate 10/10 gold dragons.
