ROP & HOD
#6
Watching both. ROP seemed slow in 1st ep (didn't really care about anyone.) But that changed in 2. Finished 3 and it's getting good.

HOD - damn, what a good show. I honestly didn't expect much. I was burnt out on the whole GRRM world. Didn't think I'd really care to watch a prequel when I wasn't impressed with the ending season. Prequels are tough. They have to tell you a new story when you already know where it goes. They need to rely more on nostalgia and "oo look! They're related to X!"

Well I am impressed. And invested. It's only 3 eps in, but I really like it.

In both cases, it's the writing that makes it work, the character as much as the spectacle. The story is revealed slowly, but just enough to pull us through, so far. This is how you do it.

And the visuals are flawless. Serious money, directing, photography and VFX. The worlds look lived in and authentic.

Hopefully, they hold up.
