The Targaryen dynasty is at the absolute apex of its power, with more than 15 dragons under their yoke. Most empires crumble from such heights. In the case of the Targaryens, their slow fall begins when King Viserys breaks with a century of tradition by naming his daughter Rhaenyra heir to the Iron Throne. But when Viserys later fathers a son, the court is shocked when Rhaenyra retains her status as his heir, and seeds of division sow friction across the realm.

In Season 3, the Targaryen civil war continues to unfold with devastating consequences.

The seasons are so far apart I can’t remember what’s going on. Rewatching seems like a waste of time because I didn’t really care for the characters all that much.

How is Matt Smith in this? I loved him in Doctor Who, and he was good in Terminator.

I have never watched Game of Thrones (this is a prequel?) does that really matter?

He is good. It took me a few episodes to get used to the wig, though.

And no - you don’t need to have seen Game of Thrones. There are some fan service level references that you will miss and it doesn’t establish its world as clearly, so I think it’s assumed viewers have some level of prior understanding. I re-watched House of the Dragon with my partner, who hasn’t watched Game of Thrones, and I didn’t have to explain anything to her.
