What to Know

Critics Consensus

Stolen dragon eggs and awkward matchmaking add up to an installment that is designed to lay foundations rather than dazzle in its own right, but "The Rogue Prince" succeeds in nesting juicy conflicts.

The constant rotation of actors can make it difficult to understand how a character has evolved over the decades. Go to Full Review Scott Bryan BBC.com Sep 28, 2022
Must Watch
I like the fact that this show is less sprawling than the original. There are far fewer characters. The show also feels different to Game of Thrones by looking at the factions and fighting within one family rather than across many others. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede Fox 10 Phoenix Sep 2, 2022

Already a very entertaining show, and I suspect the jillion or so people who watched the premiere are likely already hooked.
