4/5
More action-packed but still as thoughtful as ever, the first half of Season 3 suggests it could very well be House Of The Dragon’s best offering yet. Go to Full Review Ben Dowell The Times (UK) 17h
2/5
All too often it feels so old hat, so reheated and, well, so, so boring. Go to Full Review Alison Herman Variety 17h
Whether they provide surprise and distraction or anchoring ballast, it’s the people who make “House of the Dragon” worth enduring the predetermined devastation. The dragons are just the CGI flying lizards on top. Go to Full Review Amelia Harvey That Hashtag Show 9h
These opening four episodes are well-paced and gripping from start to end. Even TV watchers who aren’t loyal fans of George RR Martin’s universe will be engrossed (and only a little confused). Go to Full Review Belen Edwards Mashable 12h
Season 3's first four episodes manage to make up for Season 2's finale and then some, delivering jaw-dropping spectacle and somber truths about the cost of war. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof 15h
The HBO series, as usual, has pulled out all the stops (draconianly) and delivered not only the customary tragedy but also some truly tense moments. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
