HBO has made a name for itself as the go-to place for prestige TV shows. Among <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/best-shows-hbo-max-right-now\/\" target=\"_blank\">HBO&#8217;s best series<\/a> are <em>Westworld<\/em>, <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, <em>True Detective<\/em>, and many more.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>As just those three showcase, HBO has found success in a wide range of genres, with intense crime thrillers, mind-bending sci-fi shows, irreverent comedies, and show-stopping fantasy series taking over the network&#8217;s slate of projects. When it comes to the last genre, there is no surprise that a 2011 series is the one to make the biggest impact on HBO worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, I&#8217;m talking about <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, which ran for eight mostly successful seasons. While <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/game-thrones-hbo-season-8-bad-reason\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Game of Thrones<\/em> season 8 was notably disappointing<\/a>, that does not erase the many exciting moments that made the fantasy series the genre&#8217;s most popular release to date. After it ended, HBO started developing multiple <em>Game of Thrones <\/em>spinoffs, including the recent <em>A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Both that show and <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>&#8216; first prequel series, <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/db\/tv-show\/house-of-the-dragon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><em><strong>House of the Dragon<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, are among HBO&#8217;s best series. However, I wanted to spotlight the franchise&#8217;s first spinoff here, as<em> House of the Dragon<\/em> has become the source of many online debates due to divisive choices made in season 2. While it was a step down from the <a href=\"https:\/\/screenrant.com\/house-of-the-dragon-2022-tv-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\">excellent first season<\/a>, the show is still a top-notch fantasy series.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client!

That allows the show to feel fresh.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, <em>House of the Dragon<\/em> focuses on one of <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>&#8216; best elements, the lore of House Targaryen. The show features them during the civil war that would bring about the end of the Targaryen dynasty. By diving deep into the events of the Dance of the Dragons, the 18-episode HBO fantasy series adds many layers to the franchise&#8217;s lore.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-house-of-the-dragon-season-3-can-further-improve-the-show\">\n                        How House Of The Dragon Season 3 Can Further Improve The Show<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<p> So far, 18 episodes have been released across two seasons of the HBO series. <em>House of the Dragon <\/em>season 3 is set to arrive on HBO in June, opening with the long-awaited Battle of the Gullet. While the HBO series boasts a high 87% critics&#8217; score, making it one of HBO&#8217;s best, <em>House of the Dragon<\/em> season 2 only achieved a 72% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n<p>That was due to complaints about the pacing dragging, useless scenes like Daemon&#8217;s many visions at Harrenhal, and the lack of major battles. <em>House of the Dragon <\/em>season 3 is at least showing it will fix one of those, as showrunner Ryan Condal claimed it would be the &#8220;<em>biggest season to date<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>total war<\/em>.&#8221; As such, <strong><em>House of the Dragon <\/em><\/strong>should only improve.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card type-screen large\" data-show-streamrentbuy-links=\"true\"
