It wouldn’t be accurate to say that House of the Dragon Season 3 slows down in Episode 4, but it definitely feels like less of significance...

After a pretty balls-to-the-wall opening to Season 3, House of the Dragon quickly settled into slow-burn, claustrophobic political drama in Episode 3, “Rhaenyra Triumphant”. It...

I watch House of the Dragon for the dragons. I watch for the swords and the pitched battles and the kind of CGI that only...

Season 3 of House of the Dragon continues to be about big moments almost exclusively. The premiere, which revolved around the Battle of the Gullet, killed off...

Giant battles full of dragons and destruction are all well and good, but the heart of a story like House of the Dragon lives in the aftermath. It beats to the rhythm of bodies washing up against the rocks of a shoreline and hides in the wreckage of naval fleets razed to matchsticks.

Here I was, claiming that Euphoria doesn’t have a great deal going on in Season 3 beyond the obvious viral sensationalism of Sydney Sweeney’s kaiju boobs. With very credible arguments floating around that this show has exceeded the purpose of its existence, Episode 6 is reassuring in its way, since it’s the first chapter that feels less designed to court controversy and more intended to offer a sliver of hope to these woebegone fools.

Every time I think I have Half Man figured out, it surprises me. Every time I feel some problems might be manifesting, it acknowledges those problems itself,...
