House of the Dragon - (NowTV)
Never tried the OG game of thrones series, and motivation to do so wasn't helped by the unavoidable reception to those last season's. So fuck them, we got the new shit instead! And It don't need none of that knowledge of the other's lore to enjoy neither. There's something quite intriguing about acting the many layers of repression all these characters are trying to navigate through as they attempt to claw at what power they can, with a king that is kinda a solid dude for the most part (as opposed to almost every other king in mainstream fictional media). Is a bit jarring when time skips happen and actors have totally different faces for some but not others.
None of that is important tho. All fleeting distractions. From the real star of the show. The "you fckin what mate?" goat reaction shot...
