"House of the Dragon" might be the biggest show on any streaming service right now, but the HBO series brings some baggage. Season 2 did not go over well, thanks to a lackluster ending, and people doubted whether it even merited renewing their HBO Max subscription.
So far, through two episodes, though, season 3 has been a return to form and delivered an epic season premiere. Can episode 3 continue the show's hot streak? Check out streaming editor Malcolm McMillan's instant reaction to the shocking episode below:

'House of the Dragon' season 3 synopsis
Based on George R.R. Martin's book "Fire & Blood," this spin-off series of "Game of Thrones" takes place nearly 200 years before the events of the original show. It's set during a devastating war of succession within House Targaryen known as the "Dance of the Dragons," a war that would mark the beginning of the end of Westeros' ruling house.
In season 3, things are finally coming to a head, as Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy) prepares to take King's Landing (and the Iron Throne) from her usurper half-brother Aegon II (Tom Glynn-Carney).
