House of the Dragon Season 2, Episode 1 – "A Son for a Son," reviewed by Helen O'Hara. Narrated by Alan Wheeler. Aside from that one shocking murder – perhaps thankfully less shocking than it might have been visually – this is a period of phony war for the Greens and Blacks, as each side casts about for alternatives to violence and finds none. It’s also an episode with relatively little action, setting up the stakes of this season rather than delivering huge amounts of drama in its own right. Still, that final bloody slaying shows that the cost of all this maneuvering will be high, and that it will be borne by those least able to defend themselves. It’s a horrifying illustration of the cost of a civil war: with a family turned against itself, even the youngest and most innocent are not safe. #IGN #HOTD #ASOIAF
