House of the Dragon (2022)
Dragons dragons dragons
I'm pleased I held off on giving my 5-star rating initially; the series only improves with time. The acting is consistently strong, and Matt Smith truly shines. Initially, I struggled with the focus primarily on the Targaryens, especially after experiencing the diverse locations and houses in Ice and Fire. 'House of the Dragon' seemed to lack varied storylines initially, resulting in fewer character developments. Nonetheless, the familiar power play and plotting characteristic of this genre remain, making it just as addictive. For diehard fans, it is great to be back in familiar places. For new viewers, it may not be enough to compel them to come back next week.

The film's attention to detail in recreating the late '60s Los Angeles is commendable. While the plot meanders, Tarantino's signature dialogue and unexpected twists create a compelling and nostalgic experience.
