Martin's "Fire & Blood," "House of the Dragon" is set nearly 200 years before the events of "Game of Thrones," telling the story of the Targaryen civil war with King Viserys I Targaryen's children battling for control of the Iron Throne.

Critics Consensus

Approaching its dynastic cataclysm with a deliberate stride rather than a charging gallop, House of the Dragon carefully sets up its emotional stakes to make the fiery spectacle all the more scorching.

Ben Dowell

Times (UK)

The green/black colour coding presented a rare moment of clarity in a series that offers little concession to storytelling simplicity.

Rated: 4/5

This world has more dragons to show off, but less of the natural magic that made Game of Thrones a satisfying weekly destination. I’m not talking about the sorcery in Essos, but the extensive dives into the humanity and foibles of each character.

Judy Berman

TIME Magazine

By de-emphasizing—and deglamorizing—combat, in favor of enriching central characters, closely tracking each side's machinations, and questioning the very premise of a just war, the series harkens back to the early seasons of Game of Thrones...

Mid TV, this ain’t: The four episodes made available to critics are brisk, action-studded, hugely lavish, and as effortlessly watchable as anything I’ve taken in this year.

Irish Independent

There’s one genuinely exciting fight scene amid the endless dull talk and joylessly mechanical sex scenes, but it’s not enough to hide the fact that this is mediocre material stretched thinly.

Rated: 2/5

Decider

House of the Dragon returns with the promise of armed conflict, even more fiery beasts, and a rage in the hearts of women and men that will not be quenched without vengeance.

Watched first one of season two and was left with the feeling - what the hell was that about? Also can someone pay the electric bill still very difficult to determine what is happening on the screen

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
