House of Dragon, season 1, gives us an insight into Westeros's past. Set two centuries before Game of Thrones, the show follows the rise and fall of House Targaryen. It features stunning visuals and political intrigue that keep viewers hooked. The show is darker and more intimate than GOT, following power struggles, betrayal, and the consequences of ambition.
The cast is well selected captivating with each moment. Emma D'Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen shows us the struggle of a woman who craved more—power, recognition, and control over her destiny. Throughout House of the Dragon, her ambition and desire for the throne were central to her character. The similarties between her and Daenerys both in looks and character makes me feel a few different things. One that I am sad that two centuries later women are still fighting for their rights to be considered more than just pawns. Two that Daenerys hunger for power was as if inherited. I can't wait for the next seasons of House of Dragons to see what other similarities arise.
This first season had me hooked, and knowing roughly how things will unfold didn't ruin the surprises the show brought. I haven't started season 2 yet, but I'm excited to see what it brings next. Have you seen the show? What are your thoughts so far?
