House of the Dragon (prods. Miguel Sapochnik & Ryan Condal).

HBO’s prequel series set two hundred years before Game of Thrones focuses on the beginning of the end of House Targaryen’s nearly three hundred year reign over the Seven Kingdoms. It’s refreshingly laid out where the focus on key relationship dynamics, political alliances, and maneuvers to carry favour to the next in line for the Iron Throne are set up nicely.

Notably, HotD feels so thematically feminist in its patriarchal medieval-esque setting where women are purely seen or even threatened for their reproductive abilities and royal political machinations revolve around male heirs and avoiding female rule. There are very clear character motivations and how power is chased, wielded, and passed down in what it means for the greater realms teases the coming conflicts well.
