House of the Dragon – The Rogue Prince Review
In this week’s installment of House of the Dragon, the series once again presented us with a host of political maneuvering – and, much as with the series premiere, the various characters and their self-serving machinations felt out-and-out boring to watch.

When it was first announced, all those years ago, that Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould would be putting together a prequel series to Gilligan’s Breaking Bad (on which Gould had been a key writer and director), I, like many critics, was worried.
