My thoughts on House of Dragon after finishing the first season
When I finished GOT, I asked a question on Reddit to find out what to start watching next. Many people mentioned AKOTSK and a few mentioned HOTD. I did some research and found that some people didn't like HOTD, but I decided to watch it anyway and I have just one word to describe it: MAGNIFICENT.
How can anyone hate such an incredible show? I just finished season 1, and I swear it made me feel more sadness and grief (I cried), especially the last few episodes, than GOT did (I never cried for GOT). The two negative points are the huge number of children (xD), which makes it confusing to know who is the father and who is the mother, and the time jumps (but someone explained why to me). I discovered new characters that I really liked, such as Daemon Targaryen and Rhaenerys. I discovered new dragons and more dragon scenes, unlike in GOT. I can't wait to see what happens next.
