Summary

The story of the House Targaryen, set 300 years before the events of George RR Martin's blood-soaked fantasy adventure Game of Thrones

Review

Huw Fullerton

This Game of Thrones prequel, set three centuries before Jon Snow did his best long-haired brooding, could have been a cynical cash-grab. Instead, HBO made a darker, more sophisticated fantasy series with a sense of fun and verve that was missing from Prime Video’s rival Lord of the Rings drama.

The story is familiar — various factions vying for the throne — but every episode has a real emotional impact, best demonstrated by a career-best Paddy Considine as the haunted King Viserys.
