Reply to comment by Every_Repair973 in Do you think Hotd will win the emmy for best tv show next year? by [deleted]

Depends if you just hang out in echo chambers. It's certainly not up to the standards of game of thrones. It's been pretty boring, the scenes are drab and grey and in uninteresting locations, the writing is mediocre and forced, the story and pacing are slow and not very interesting.

It's had some bright points, but it's had entire episodes that weren't even worth watching. I can't actually be bothered to watch the last episode because I'm so uninvested in it.

Like I said, 6.5. Not awful, but not great. Just a show that exists. Better than rings of power, worse than Andor.

By the way, metacritic:

Critic reviews 69%

User reviews only 4.9 out of 10.

Metacritic is pooling 500 users

House of the Dragon pools 230,000 users

Also critics are generally a lot snobbier about fantasy

You´re describing Andor.

I enjoyed Andor more so far. I would give Andor 7.5 out of 10, HOTD 6.5 and RoP maybe 4.5.

I'm hoping The Peripheral delivers, although it's a bit of a mixed bag too so far.

I haven´t enjoyed Andor at all, dropped it after 5 episodes. The characters are cliche, uninteresting and boring. Not invested in any of them. The dialogue is bland without any personality, style or flair and filled repetition. Its not funny, clever or charming when it tries to be. The storylines are trite that have been done much better before. And RoP is like 2-3, one of the worst written shows I´ve ever watched.

I believe that dubious honour goes to The Wheel of Time.

Thats a tough one, both terrible. Not the LotR comparison Jordan wanted when he rewrote Tolkien´s work as Eye of the World.
