House of the Dragon: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Brian Lowry CNN.com After a somewhat rocky takeoff, House of the Dragon has seemingly reached its cruising altitude, while continuing to take big creative swings. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Louis Chilton Independent (UK) While it takes a few episodes for House of the Dragon to crescendo into the sort of grand, violent spectacle that the series does better than pretty much anything else on TV, there are enough nuggets of incident... to satisfy viewers’ bloodlust. Rated: 4/5 Jun 6, 2024 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Dan Jolin Empire Magazine Above all else, House Of The Dragon remains a spiky, acidic human drama; an astute, timely and well-performed study of the way power and wisdom are so often mutually exclusive. Rated: 4/5 Jun 6, 2024 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network Until this series can give us something that Game of Thrones did not, House of the Dragon is just another chapter in a long history rather than the unique destination viewing that the first series gave us. Rated: 7/10 Jun 10, 2024 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Fay Watson Total Film A brutal return for the fantasy epic that sets up a tantalizing conflict where no one is safe. Rated: 4/5 Jun 8, 2024 Full Review House of the Dragon: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Joy Press Vanity Fair The show’s second outing is both more cohesive and more disappointing... Luckily, season two has strong performances from Cooke and D’Arcy to propel it forward. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
