There was a lot riding on House of the Dragon, the first Game of Thrones spin-off, which ended its 10-episode debut season last week.
We discuss how the show succeeds independently of not just its predecessor, but also when it is held up in comparison with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
We also talk about its slow-burn palace intrigue, how deftly it establishes its characters, and its apparent dedication to not providing easy heroes and villains for the audience to latch on to.
