i've only watched the 1st episode of s02 & let me tell you, it's distinctly hollywood. not only do i not want to watch the rest of the season; it's made me wonder if the 1st season was actually good
I like your explanation of how HOD is managing an audience- marketing and placing it at a time when there’s not much else in this genre worth watching!
It's impressive that HotD is getting the positive reviews from people you'd think would be opposed to it's very existence. Matt Smith's performance is getting a lot of praise, and it's visual styling may be dreary but it compares dazzlingly well to RoP. Someone in HBO's marketing department knew exactly what they were doing when they waited to upstage RoP's season 2 trailer release with their own. Given that this series will never shake the millstone around it's neck of being a sequel to the greatest let-down in television history, and stands little chance of attracting those fans of the original book who resent it's very existence for distracting GRRM from completing Winds of Winter and Dream of Spring, it's doing surprisingly well.
I must admit Eric, I loved GoT until the last two seasons. It felt like Benioff and Weiss just couldn’t be bothered and were itching to get into another project. But then, GRRM writes at the pace of an asthmatic snail carrying a lot of heavy shopping so perhaps he was partially to blame. So far I’ve really enjoyed HotD, Matt Smith and Paddy Considine in particular have been excellent and the storyline is brewing up nicely. Time will tell my friend…
I don't even like Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon...however, compared to the writing in ROP and the Acolyte, it's clear who the winner will be.😂
thrones declined in ratings later seasons ? come tf on. likely most watched show in human history btw ! at its best it was best all time however yeh hotd season 2 is SOOOOOOOOO bad. like i enjoyed season 1. however season 2 is WOEFUL. grrm is being torn asunder by a company desperate for him not to give us book 6 and 7
Lord of the Rings films make massive changes to the books and no one complained against that. And the book that house of the dragon is based on is written from the perspective of three different people. House of the dragon is actually far better than game of thrones
this video maker is afraid to admit that the likes of daenerys and tyrion dominated like nothing else all time and your comment, saying hotd is ANY WERE CLOSE TO THRONES. is hilarious. season 2 has been a disaster. they all have no motivation whatsoever. tabula rasa. all crap

Thank you!
Si nice to see you back reviewing these shows. For me, I was never a fan of GOT. I did like the theme song. lol.
Was never a huge fan either, but I have to give them credit for the comeback they made, and thank you!

The last two seasons really did feel rushed but yeah we can’t say it’s their fault for running out of material 😂
@@EricthecameramanYeah, let’s blame them. 😂

Same- acolyte and ROP can make The Room look like Ben hur by comparison 😂
Game of thrones really lost us at the end- just going too far. Nice review of this new series.
By season 3 it just became a game of how far they could push things
