House of Dragon Season 1 Review
This series includes the Civil War story and the Targaryen house, also known as Dance of Dragons. The reviews are all positive about the series. The first episode is impressive and blood-boiling at the same time.
The family members of the Seven Kingdoms are shown to betray each other, making fake promises, fighting, and all that royal family drama. The series shows many fighting scenes, wounds, and people killing.
The first five episodes of the series roam around the Young Princess Rhaenyra. She is a teen girl who is ambitious, courageous, and strong. She would be an ideal heir, but according to the ancient kings, the Kingdom needs a king to handle it, not a queen.
