'House of the Dragon' Season 1 Is Full of Wasted Potential

After the announcement that House of the Dragon Season 2 would consist of a mere eight episodes, it's hard not to ask a simple and distressing question: is history repeating itself? Season 1 of the Game of Thrones prequel already felt underserved with 10 episodes, a classic case of too much plot crammed into far too short a timeframe.

As we know, the show's quality spiraled down alongside those descending numbers. Despite the House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones creative teams not overlapping, I shudder to think a nightmarish Groundhog Day is breathing down our collective necks.

It tries to be warm and funny, but it lacks a kitch element that we have seen before that works so well.”  Stewart also explained the new film would take a different ...
