If you are looking for a hero to cheer for, or a real villain to hate, you aren't getting it in House of the Dragon.

This is based on the books which are an in-universe historical retelling of the era and the conclusion is basically that all the people here, on both sides are not well-regarded in history. They were known for throwing the land into war and destruction on both sides because they were weak and selfish.
