Things are getting intense in ‘House of the Dragon’ and we are getting a glimpse of how everything went downhill for the House Targaryen. Set almost 172 years before the birth of Daenerys Targaryen, the ‘House of the Dragon’ chronicles the epic journey of House Targaryen and how internal politics brought such a strong kingdom down to its knees.

The first two episodes of the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel laid a strong foundation and took us back to King’s Landing in the most riveting fashion. However, the third episode took things to another level as Prince Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith) fought the Crab Feeder’s army alone and gave viewers one of the most amazing fight sequences in ‘GOT’ universe.
