This show is uneven at best, but I do think its heart is more or less in the right place.

Going episode for episode against House of the Dragon was the best thing that could’ve happened for them, because I think a lot of people are going to appreciate how not icky this is.

At no point have I been concerned about witnessing the death of an infant or pregnant woman, or the possibility of two direct blood relatives lusting after one another.

There’s a bunch of characters to root for. There are lots of relatable motivations that aren’t solely driven by “because the show needs to happen and that’s what I wrote.”

The whole world they’ve created doesn’t look like an awful place to be. It’s the sort of place you want to imagine visiting.

Westeros is hell on earth, and the good people all get murdered. If they’re even that good.

Again, uneven, but compared to what we’ve gotten lately, I appreciate the manner of the attempt.
