Blood, very dirty political maneuvering, death, sex and dragons.
All that (along with many more issues) made the
Game of Thrones
series a worldwide hit
appears in
House of the Dragon
.
And from the beginning.
This production can be seen
on HBO Max from August 22
and it will give a lot to talk about.
Here we have without spoilers the highlights of
one of the great seriéfilas proposals of the year
.
Subscribe here to HBO Spain.
Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen (Milly Alcock) is the protagonist of the story.
IT ALL STARTED WITH THE DRAGONS...
To remember that we are facing the
Game of Thrones
prequel,
nothing better than letting the minutes pass in the first chapter.
From the beginning, the mythical tune of the 8-season series already tells us that
the style, the form and the settings are going to be familiar to us
.
Specifically, we are at the time when
the Targaryen dynasty ruled almost unopposed thanks to the power of the dragons.
The protagonist is
Rhaenyra Targaryen
, a teenager who, 200 years before Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) rose as the 'mother of dragons', faced a fate that she resisted.
The daughter of King Viserys
(Paddy Considine)
suffers from the fact that she is a woman
and cannot become her father's successor.
Many want to remove King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) from power.
MAIN CHARACTERS
A replacement that leads us to see
betrayals, fights
and (household trademark)
bloody combats
in which two iconic characters with a lot of character emerge as
Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans)
, the king's right-hand man, and
Prince Daemon Targayren (Matt Smith)
, the villain of the role.
It is curious that, to embody these guys, they have had
two actors as charismatic
as, in the case of Smith, the
protagonist of the
Doctor Who
series and who appeared in
The Crown
;
and, in Rhys Ifans, to a guy who stood out as
Hugh Grant's friend in
Notthing Hill
and who, little by little, has shown his ability to function in dramas like
Anonymous
and
blockbusters like the
Spider-Man
and
Harry Potter
sagas. .
Matt Smith is Prince Daemon Targaryen, the villain of the show.
But, what the public really expects,
whether there is (or not) sex, political gossip and dragons
is the unknown that should be cleared up.
Yes, and as the story progresses, more.
George RR Martin
's novel
Fire and Blood
is here adapted with many of the factors that were already a trademark of
Game of Thrones
.
A PRODUCT FOR AN ADULT PUBLIC
Nudity, bloody deaths
and situations in which women are despised by men make this series
an adult product
, exciting due to the unexpectedness of some situations and with a long journey.
10 chapters in which the weakness of King Viserys is evidenced
by his kindness
, the
strong character of a young Targayren
and the
evil of a Daemon prince
who does not hide his desire for power from the start of the plot.
Otto Hightower (Rhys Ifans) is the king's right hand man.
In the absence of knowing the verdict of the most staunch fans of George RR Martin's stories, it is appreciated that he himself has participated in this project in which, on the negative side,
less complexity in the plots
stands out , few outdoor scenes far from the Iron Throne and nearby rooms and too many political meetings led by the king with dialogues not as agile and biting as in
Game of thrones
.
And it is that
the shadow of Peter Dinklage
and that of his Machiavellian Tyrion Lannister
is very long
.
