House of the Dragon: The Complete First Season [4K UHD]

Product Information

Much like the first season of Game of Thrones, House of the Dragonis engrossing right from the start with its characters, played by an excellent cast, and its story. Whereas GoTwas a sprawling epic told all across and beyond Westeros featuring many clashing houses, House of the Dragoninstead focuses on the Targaryen family at the height of their power, yet also at a critical time in their rule that will define Westerosi history going forward. There’s also an irony as the show features more of the ‘game of thrones’ than Game of Thronesdid as multiple characters plot, lie and manipulate for more power and a chance to sit on the famed Iron Throne. Series cinematographer Fabien Wagner famously blamed viewers’ ability to tune their TVs, as well as the compression the episode went through for HBO to broadcast and stream it for the problems. HBO’s House of the Dragon is based on the book “Fire & Blood” by George R. R. Martin and premiered on HBO and HBO Max on August 21st, 2022. The prequel to Game of Thrones, HOTD is set 200 years earlier (172 years before Daenerys Targaryen is born) and focuses on House Velaryon, House Hightower, and the main events that lead toward the fall of House Targaryen. The show was written by Ryan J. Condal and George R.R. Martin.

Giant Targaryen statues stand in the throne room while the Iron Throne literally stretches out with more melted down swords or dragon skulls are placed with a religious-like reverence, something much different to the original series. The series tells the story of House Targaryen, and chronicles the conquest that united the Seven Kingdoms under Targaryen rule through the Dance of the Dragons: the Targaryen civil, war that nearly ended their dynasty forever

House of the Dragon: Season 1 (4K Ultra HD) (2022)

Everyone is the cast is great, but particular praise has to go to Paddy Considine who plays King Viserys Targaryen. Anyone who watched the original series will be used to some pretty lousy or downright evil kings and queens ruling over Westeros, but Viserys is different in how he is a kind and competent king who feels the weight of the crown every day and tries to balance his duty to the realm with his family. The ten-episode series will premiere in the UK on Monday, August 22 at 2am– yes, in the middle of the night – simultaneously with its US premiere. It’s not like every minute of every episode is loaded with Atmos moments though. Far from it. The best audio moments are scattered among dramatic dialogue, often long and drawn out.

This year Foxtel has doubled the amount of live hours in 4K Ultra HD available across sport – increasing to more than 200 hours – making it the largest broadcaster of 4K Ultra HD content in Australia, and now the home of one of the most popular entertainment franchises in 4K Ultra HD – House of the Dragon. Based on George R.R. Martin’s fantasy novel “Fire & Blood,” House of the Dragon tells the story of House Targaryen and is set 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones.This principal cast brings to life the complexities of both the Targaryen dynasty and their own motivations. Thrones had a pretty clear line between its heroes and villains – infamously so for its villains – but Houseis in contrast where all the characters are capable of morally grey actions. As the family splits into two factions, each side has their own valid points for what they do, making the line between good and evil murkier and the cast deliver incredibly well on these layered performances.
