The Game of Thrones franchise
After the contentious last season of the popular HBO series ‘Game of Thrones’, fans were left in a disarray, with dwindling faith in George R.R. Martin’s adaptations.
However, ‘House of Dragon’, that was released three years after the ‘Game of Thrones’ finale, took many fans by surprise. It featured Targaryen at center stage in a time period set 200 years before the events of the original series.
It was considered widely a success with its cultivated sense of reality, following through with its complex take on morality and empathy.
