Reply to comment by mrnicegy26 in The first season of Game of Thrones:House of Dragon has ended. What is your opinion about it? by mrnicegy26

I would gladly be proven wrong if it surpasses it. Its a great overall show, might be the best season of the year for me.

But it doesn´t have Tyrion and Tywin which I think are some of the best characters ever written TV or Book. It doesn´t have the brotherhood/friendship of the Knights Watch. Larys is a lesser version of Little Finger and Varys dynamic. And really just a poor mans Glokta.

I mean, we're also only a single season (11 episodes) in as well. GoT didn't have a lot of what you said until it was developed a couple seasons later.

All those elements are in the first season. Tyrion being Tyrion, having chemistry with every character and actor, delivering classic dialogue. Tywin is introduced in the second half of the season. Jon Snow travels to the Wall in the second episode etc.

Sure its hypothetically possible HotD could surpass it but I never want to set expectation for any content that high and then be disappointed.
