What to Know

Critics Consensus

Taking stock of how dynastic war impacts the people who don't sit on thrones, "Smallfolk" effectively fleshes out the characters existing on the margins -- while feeling a bit like a detour.

All in all, it’s another excellent episode of House Of The Dragon. There are a lot of big dialogue-heavy scenes, which the series is fast becoming known for, and just enough action to keep anyone craving an adrenaline hit happy. Go to Full Review Anthony Whyte The Movie Blog Sep 1, 2025
