The House of the Dragon hasn't been perfect, but it's certainly been an huge step up from the last season of GoT. I'm not completely caught up yet (just finished episode 6), but the show actually encouraged me to buy Fire and Blood, the book it's based on.
Rings of Power just looks boring as hell, and that is the general vibe everyone who watched it has said to me. It also rubs me the wrong way that Amazon descended like vultures on LotR in what seemed like the second after Christopher Tolkien died
