'House Of The Dragon' review: Everything you hoped a 'Game of Thrones' show would be


'You heard that wrong. I'm Prince Daemon, not Daemon Prince. This is NOT Warhammer 40,000. But ooh, I'm grimdark too.' Photos: Handout

Being in the viewer segment that pretty much loathed the illogical abruptness of Game Of Thrones' (GOT) final few episodes, I was quickly won over by the deliberate, measured plotting and subtly engineered dramatic tension of House Of The Dragon (HOTD).

This prequel series based on a portion of author George R.R. Martin's 2018 work Fire & Blood is set well over a century before the birth of GOT (anti)heroine Daenerys Targaryen.
