Critics Consensus

Making for deeply uncomfortable family viewing, "King of the Narrow Sea" trades dragonflame for dangerous liaisons and goes a long way towards deepening House of the Dragon's web of intrigue.

The writers seem more interested in big set pieces rather than the slow simmering of resentments.

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.

House of the Dragon will almost certainly pick up pace as the season finale looms, but it’s hard to deny that nearly everything we’ve seen to date verges on the superfluous.

It feels like House of the Dragon is truly saying something about the awful treatment women have been (and are) subjected to, as it shows how it permeates every aspect of their lives—and how even when they’re royalty they have little to no autonomy.
