HBO’s House of the Dragon was met with widespread critical acclaim when it premiered last year. Based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, House of the Dragon is the prequel to the esteemed fantasy series, Game of Thrones. The series, which documents the fall of the House Targaryen, was embraced by Game of Thrones fans, leaving them eagerly anticipating House of the Dragon’s upcoming second season. On the whole, House of the Dragon was widely praised, however it was also met with a few criticisms. A frequent point of criticism was targeted at the series’ somewhat ‘excessive’ use of time-jumps. Some viewers argued that these frequent time-jumps unnecessarily complicated the plot, making it hard to follow. Because of this, it’s likely that some viewers may have forgotten some of season 1’s crucial plot points, especially since it has now been over a year since its release.
