The third season of House of the Dragon has premiered, and critics are sharing their thoughts on the new episodes. The show, which is a prequel to Game of Thrones, is based on the book Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin.
Critics’ Reviews
Reviewer Alison Herman calls the Battle of the Gullet in the season premiere “spectacular,” but notes that the more exciting development in Season 3 is the intimate scenes between Rhaenyra and Alicent Hightower. Daniel Fienberg writes that the first two seasons had too many similar-looking characters and too many dragons, but that Season 3 is an improvement.
Kelly Lawler labels the first two seasons “woefully disappointing” but sees “glimmers of hope” in Season 3. Roxana Hadadi writes that the show has fixed its momentum problem and is now the best it has ever been.
