I didn’t originally plan to watch House of the Dragon. I hadn’t watched its predecessor, Game of Thrones, or read the books that either show was based on. This wasn’t because of any lack of interest — I’m a big fan of genre television and fantasy stories. But it had never quite made it to the top of the list, owing in part to not having the time to invest into it, but also to the knowledge that — at least according to the fans I’d heard from — the last season of Game of Thrones wasn’t very good.
This wasn’t the only reason I decided to check House of the Dragon out. After a few weeks, I was seeing praise for the show’s performances , as well as some interesting points of discussion about the show’s structure. I was intrigued by the number of time skips in the show, to the extent that it recast several key characters throughout the season. But ultimately, what caused me to take the plunge was the simple fact that, compared to Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon felt manageable.
Does 'House of the Dragon' Work On Its Own? Despite this density of lore and characters, I think House of the Dragon still works well independent of Game of Thrones. I needed to pay close attention to keep track of what was going on at first, but it was never so bad that I felt the need to resort to scouring wikis for details I was missing.
I’m watching it and loving 🥰
