With the final episode of his shows stellar first season leaking online at least two days before it's premier on HBO and well then I promised myself that once I saw the final episode of this shows first season I would write a review of it and so then join me as I review the first season of the TV show that has been the best thing on TV recently with the show in question being called simply just "House Of The Dragon" enjoy.
The plot of this show is nearly two hundred years before Game Of Thrones the Targaryen family ruled Westeros however war is looming and the once tight nit family is starting to fall apart at the seems. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with this shows plotline being genuinely engaging and very well written and paced out in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With every single one of this shows cast really nailing there characters and turning in some really good performances at the exact same time in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Doing the actual CGI for this show is MPC Episodic , Outpost VFX and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pixomondo.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!
The one thing that I wasn't expecting from this shows final episode was for them to make Rhaenyra Targaryen. Simply because I think something this important would have been mentioned on Game Of Thrones but the fact that it wasn't makes me wonder if something tragic is to happen to this character either by the end of the next season or by the end of this shows run since that's the only way that I can see something like this making perfect sense interms of this world and what this world has already established thanks to Game Of Thrones in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
This show does have quite alot of time skips inbetween each episode which in some cases can make quite confusing. However for alot of the time the time skip is referenced in the actual episodes themselves with the largest time skip being inbetween episodes five and six however in doing all of these time skips the show does miss on the chance to explore storylines that otherwise get forgotten due to the fact that there's a time skip and that's bit of a huge let down for me personally since the show does create some interesting plot threads but due to the time skips they just don't get explored as much as they should've done in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Rather fitting this show has very similar endings to both it's first and final episodes with episode one ending with the death on Rhaenyra Targaryen's mother and this episode ending with the death of one of her sons. This to me was quite interesting because now we get to see how this character gets to deal with the death of her own son whilst also having an entire army at her command and so this should make season two not only all the more interesting but also all the more important as we get ever closer to the dance with dragons in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Now then this show has ten episodes all of which last around one hour each which is in line with Game Of Thrones. I will admit that this show having one hour long episodes does work to this shows advantage since it does allow for scenes to breathe and for the smaller moments to have a lasting impact on us the viewers like the scene between Viserys I Targaryen and Daemon Targaryen in episode eight were Daemon Targaryen helps his dying brother ascend to the throne for the last time and a scene like that wouldn't be in the show if this show had a much more shorter running time because it's not that important of a scene in terms of that episode and that's episodes plotline in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With actor Matt Smith getting alot of really cool action scenes and heck there's a shockingly cool action scene at the end of this very episode in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
SPOILER END HERE!!!!!!!!!!
Overall this show was such a fantastic show and is easily better then The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power since this show actually has good acting and good writing within it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that means that this first season erns itself a grand old score of exactly a 9.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on freaking the official Game Of Thrones fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
