The Take
House of the Dragon is pure Targaryen incest soap opera with dragons and zero shame. It normalizes the family pretzel as ancient tradition while forcing a nudity quota every season and letting the lizards carry what little story remains.
The Verdict
The dragons do the work while the humans cycle through the same incestuous betrayals and eye-bleach reunions. Side effects include needing a flowchart for every family dinner.
Skip it.
