Now that the dust and ashes have settled, how well does House of the Dragon hold up now that we've got the complete picture? Today’s podcast topics include: Listener feedback The characters and stories that provide the most satisfying arc What is our favorite first season of a TV show? How well did season 1 of House of the Dragon fit together as a whole? Does it compare to the first season of Game of Thrones? What would we like to see in season 2?
