The massively mounted ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel series ‘House of the Dragon’ started streaming a few weeks back on HBO Max and in India on the Disney+ Hotstar OTT platform. The show’s fourth episode is out now on both these streaming platforms and so is the verdict from critics and audiences. Has ‘House of the Dragon’ Episode-4 managed to become the best / highest rated episode so far? Let’s find out.
As per reviews aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the opening episode of ‘House of the Dragon’ Season-1 garnered an impressive 86% critics’ score. On the other hand, the second and the third episodes received marginally lower scores of 85% and 84%, respectively.
And the latest one, that is, Episode-4 of the ‘House of the Dragon’ series titled ‘King of the Narrow Sea’ has secured 86% Rotten Tomatoes critics’ score so far based on 85 reviews. This means that, as per Rotten Tomatoes, Episode-4 and Episode-1 share the top position as of now.
However, if we take into account the IMDb user ratings for the ‘House of the Dragon’ series, Episode-1, Episode-2, and Episode-3 had received 8.8/10, 8.5/10 and 8.9/10 user ratings, respectively. And Episode-4 has opened with an astounding 9.8/10 user rating on IMDb, thereby surpassing all the previous episodes of the series, as per their IMDb ratings.
So now, it would be interesting to see whether the remaining six episodes of ‘House of the Dragon’ can manage an upward trend as far as critics’ and user ratings are concerned.
The ‘House of the Dragon’ series is based on George R. R. Martin’s 2018 fantasy novel ‘Fire & Blood’ and the goings-on takes place around two centuries before the events of ‘Game of Thrones’ and revolves around the beginning of the end of House Targaryen.
