Amid Season 3 Shocking Debut, 'House of the Dragon' Conquers Streaming

Almost two years after a cliffhanger in Westeros, House of the Dragon returned with Season 3 and the premiere did not disappoint. While some viewers remain upset over the 2019 ending of Game of Thrones, many have tuned back in to follow the Dance of the Dragons.

Flix Patrol shows the Game of Thrones spin-off now sitting at the No. 1 spot on HBO Max’s list of most popular TV series, a position reflected on both the global and U.S. charts. Episode 1 finds Rhaenyra determined to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers.

When she acts, her son Jace locks her in her room, mounts his dragon and bursts into a masterful action sequence that culminates in the Battle of the Gullet — a sea engagement with extensive dragon combat and a heartbreaking character death unless you’re already familiar with the books.
