House of the Dragon Season One is a triumphant return to Westeros
Five minutes into the first episode of House of the Dragon, the prequel to Game of Thrones, I found myself relaxing. I missed this, I realized. This grand, finely crafted world. The rich acting. The plotting and scheming and empty machinations throughout the ages. The dragons. By the time the
