House of the Dragon: Disappointing or successful… What does the press think of the Game of Thrones prequel?

200 years before the events of Game Of Thrones, we look back at the origins of House Targaryen…

House of the Dragon, created by George Martin and Ryan Condall with Paddy Considine, Millie Alcock, Matt Smith, Emma D’Arcy…

According to Numerama:

Of course, there is no doubt that with House of the Dragon, we find the trademark Game of Thrones: it is raw, it is political and it is beautiful. The spin-off is a must for fans of the iconic HBO saga. However, this prequel remains. An ode to nostalgia, there isn’t much new work that resembles GoT on the small screen. The softness of House of Dragon is a bit disappointing.”

According to IGN France:

“A more political series than a Hollywood show like the last few seasons of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragon takes a long time to get going, but still offers a particularly solid foundation. It’s well-written, as well as well-acted.”

According to Rolling Stone:

“As soon as House of the Dragon stirs any emotion in us, we are suddenly thrown several years into the future and that feeling disappears. Also, every character except the princess is boring.”

According to the variety:

“There’s a lot of good stuff about this series that evokes familiar themes, the drama surrounding the succession case in Westeros, but it never feels like it serves us as well as the previous series… Sometimes the series is more exciting than it seems. On its own.”

According to Entertainment Weekly:

“Damon, played by Matt Smith, acts as the evil Tornado, and his performance helps to bring out the nobility of this maddened soul. By comparison, Paddy Considine inherits an unfunny character, the character of a king crushed by the weight of his own crown. The actor expresses many simple sad expressions that give us a point of view. About how his desperate hopes to keep the peace are a source of suffering for Viserys.”
