Critics Reviews

Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) A whole season in, I’m still struggling to remember which ones are Aegon, Aemond, Daemon or Everybody Loves Raemon. Jun 21, 2024 Full Review Kaiya Shunyata RogerEbert.com While season two of “House of the Dragon” starts strong, it eventually becomes clear that this series is at war with itself. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Kyle Chayka New Yorker Against the odds, HBO showrunners made more than reheated Game of Thrones leftovers. Dec 8, 2022 Full Review Joshua Polanski the post calvin Even visually, while more stylistically contained, the first season felt as impressive as the Battle of the Bastards or the Alan Taylor–directed episodes in the early seasons. Rated: 4/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net If this keeps up, House of the Dragon may become something even grander than Game of Thrones. A vast political epic about dynasties that, in crafting such believable fantasy, rivals the richness of Tolkien. Rated: 5/5 Jul 3, 2024 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut It’s a fine series in its own right, delivering all the political machinations, gore, depravity, and royal plotting that the franchise is known for in spades. Rated: 4/5 Jun 20, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
