Original GoT felt 180 because it depicted an autist's work of fiction with all its blood and glory and autistic intricacies. Even the vast amounts of nudity and sex depicted didn't feel incessant with the rest of the storyline and how it was depicted.

House of Dragons OTOH feels like they just maximized the shrewiest palace intrigue stuff without any of the autistic war machinations and planning or 180 boss characters like Tywin Lannister. Maybe it's just a random sideplot they're getting way too into but it currently feels like it's just women gossiping about each other.

is there a new season out or something?

i watched the first few eps, but all of the world-making was either ignored or shuffled off to GOT.

there were no commoners, no peasants, no minor characters, no neighborhoods, no religion, just a tacit assumption that you know most of this from GOT and now the royal characters get to talk and fight more.

the no commoners is the worst part -- it's just palace intrigue without getting to see the IRL effects of what theyre doing. seeing how shitty king's landing became under cersei and how the dragon queen had a tough time implementing her anti slavery stuff were 180 parts of the show.
