The house of the dragon is a fantasy story from the game of thrones. The special effects were brilliant made the dragons very real. The battle scenes were good exciting in parts. The story and acting was good hard to follow in parts. The series is value for money pleased with the purchase.
Delivered in efficient likely time. At first not sure what to expect this game of thrones prequel not to mention haven’t observed the latter,held the interest once seen trailers. Might get a idea into this, first glance casting good dialogue and intrigue dragons are rendered. In its own right bearings setting up introducing the players like a chess board,developing talented characters. Little slower disorientating for my liking,jumps at times several instances too much.royal plotting depravity political intrigue becomes clear the series is war with itself
It lacks a little of the polish and sense of distance and scope of GoT and the lack of a map at the start of the episode is a small detriment. It is entertaining enough to be rightly considered a good addition to the GoT universe
Had to wait to get this but worth it….
Love the series
Good price
Fine pleased
Loved every minute.. I missed it on TV and had to wait for the dvd..
Can’t wait for series 2.. Will definitely rewatch series 1 then ..
We don’t have Sky or HBO, but no problem as this box set enabled us to watch the whole series in a week. Up to Game Of Thrones standards. Looking forward to season two.
One of the best shows. I actually think it’s either on par with game of thrones or even better. Characters are great and so are the actors. And the age change is great as the casting is fantastic. The CGI is just incredible and the make up team for viserys is just wow.
The added extra making of’s are well put together and insightful though ultimately inessential versus the main event. I rarely return back to making of’s personally so see them only as another nice added bonus to add to the overall value.
The story takes place in the world of Game of Thrones, but it has a fresh and unique feel to it that sets it apart from the original series. The characters are complex and engaging, with their own motivations and desires that drive the plot forward. The performances by the cast are outstanding, with standout performances by Emma D’Arcy and Matt Smith as the Targaryen siblings Rhaenyra and Viserys.
What impressed me most about House of the Dragon was the attention to detail in the production design. The sets, costumes, and special effects all combine to create a fully realized world that feels both familiar and new. The action sequences are breathtaking, and the dragons are rendered with incredible realism and detail.
Overall, House of the Dragon is a must-watch for any fan of fantasy or television in general. It’s a thrilling, epic adventure that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this incredible show, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an immersive and exciting viewing experience.
House of the Dragon received a straight-to-series order in October 2019, with casting beginning in July 2020 and principal photography starting in April 2021 in the United Kingdom. The series premiered on August 21, 2022, with the first season consisting of ten episodes. Five days after its premiere, the series was renewed for a second season. Sapochnik departed as showrunner after the first season, leaving Condal to serve as the sole showrunner for the second season.
The first season received highly positive reviews, with praise towards its character development, visual effects, writing, score by Ramin Djawadi and performances (particularly Considine, Smith, D’Arcy, Alcock, and Cooke). However, the pacing, specifically of the time jumps, and the dark lighting of some scenes were criticized. The series premiere was watched by over 10 million viewers across the linear channels and HBO Max on the first day, the biggest in HBO’s history. In January 2023, the series won the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series — Drama.
It’s good to be back in the land of Westeros with all the drama, in fighting and Dragons.
Like GOT it starts slow building the characters, so it does take a couple of episodes to get into it. But when you do it’s great.
Just a teensy bit of a slow burner (then again so was GoT series 1 – it takes time to develop characters properly) but definitely had me hooked by the end. The series covers a period of many years and the aging of the characters is not consistent – some characters get replaced by older actors, some get prosthetic wrinkles, some just get a new hairstyle and one (distractingly and irritatingly) seems to have a portrait in the loft. But overall this definitely has the potential to push GoT close.
This is (at the moment) not as strong as Game Of Thrones but it is nevertheless a well acted and produced work, loaded with breathtaking swordplay and political manipulative intrigue. It has left me wanting to see more.
You can tell more and more the episodes written and directed by females. I’m a female but GOT this was not and I loved GOT, ending and all. And HOD is earlier in mentality than GOT yet less violence and sex.
The reason that I have only awarded 4 stars is because of the DVD case; all 5 DVDs are stacked one on top of the other. This makes it a pain when trying to change DVDs, but it also makes me worried that they will be more prone to getting scratched/damaged. A couple of them did actually stick when we were viewing them, so I hope that this just doesn’t get worse.
Other than that, for all GoT fans, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
From a story point of view it’s a bit of a slow burner and doesn’t have the scope of GOT but it’s enjoyable all the same.
From a technical point of view the 4k picture is beautiful, not quite Halo 4k stunning but beautiful all the same. The Atmos soundtrack is also fantastic.
4K Steelbook is fantastic, however, i was a little dissapointed in the casing/box that the whole set comes in. A standalone steel isn’t available, only this set. The casing is a flimsy, cardboard piece of ‘rubbish’ to be honest with you. Considering the quality of sets we got when GoT was released, i expected a-lot more.
There is a very strong conclusion to this series which leaves the viewer eagerly awaiting future series.
