I just hope they don't CGI dragon this to death - its the least interesting part of GoT, IMO. Wishful thinking for a show titled "house of the dragon" but we'll see.
once they got past the books, the plot just was not to the level of the rest of the series.
I'm only going to give this a try because the whole thing is written already. We'll see. Speaking of which, I wonder if my grandkids are going to be able to read the last book in the series.
Is already complete. And it is an excellent story. No real excuses to mess this up. They should not have any of the problems the Game of Thrones guys did with having to fill in blanks and sucking at it. Again, this is a totally completed story.
Problem with the show is that they killed off most of the good actors in the early seasons and were left with a bunch of people who were there basically for their looks
It also looks like it has some PC narrative about a woman not being accepted as the ruler. Best thing about the show was that they showed many powerful women who evolved into varied and complicated characters. Not sentimental heroines.
Based on the trailer it's got cancel culture written all over it
Netflix just released it. It’s about surviving in the ice and wilderness , against a odds. I’ve liked all the movies he played in. But in my opinion- this is his best!
Coming out in book form. Lol. I gave up on it before the GOT HBO series even came out due to his history but congrats of GRRM. He never has to write a other line again. I’ll probably watch but never thought the Tv show came close to his first 3 books.
concerned that they are trying to force fit in modern social narratives rather than just tell a fantasy story. Hopefully my concerns are unfounded.
They have the source material already written so I think that’s exactly what we will get. It won’t stop people from drawing political parallels, however. The original GoT series would probably take a lot more heat if it came out today, for example.

I’ve read that there’s been some significant changes from the source material. Hopefully the show still works. I miss getting excited to watch Game of Thrones.

It's my silent protest over the disrespect to their audience in GOT 6 & 7. I say fuck 'em.

Hard pass

I expect it to be solid and entertaining, but not get close to the level of the original.
