It looks like you're the only one saying "it's not good enough" lol

You asked a question and are now being snarky at getting an answer you don't like? So you weren't actually trying to have a conversation, you just wanted a circle jerk?

Depends if you just hang out in echo chambers. It's certainly not up to the standards of game of thrones. It's been pretty boring, the scenes are drab and grey and in uninteresting locations, the writing is mediocre and forced, the story and pacing are slow and not very interesting.
It's had some bright points, but it's had entire episodes that weren't even worth watching. I can't actually be bothered to watch the last episode because I'm so uninvested in it.
Like I said, 6.5. Not awful, but not great. Just a show that exists. Better than rings of power, worse than Andor.

It will be nominated, but won't win

No. I’ll agree. It’s a good show, but it’s not going to win an Emmy.

You´re describing Andor.

Absolutely not, however I do think Paddy Constantine has a good chance at winning best actor, he deserves it and has been pretty widely praised, I mean even George RR martin said Paddy's version of Viserys was better than his own, thats impressive

Couldn’t tell ya. Succession? Emmy’s usually choose a safe pick.
Every_Repair973 t1_iud1c6b wrote
Succession s4 will be nominated for the 2023 emmys i think. Not this year
aylakadam03 t1_iud1cxx wrote
They arent the only one who says that. I agree that it isnt good enough to win. It was fine but nothing special. Last season of Better Call Saul is far better than HotD. Also if Crown's new season is good as much as previous ones which were far better than HotD too then Crown would probably win it.

When s4 will be released it will not be nominated at the same year as Hotd.

I enjoyed Andor more so far. I would give Andor 7.5 out of 10, HOTD 6.5 and RoP maybe 4.5.
I'm hoping The Peripheral delivers, although it's a bit of a mixed bag too so far.
Gummy_yumyum t1_iud1hng wrote
Um. Next year is 2023.
TurnOnDaWodda t1_iud1kuc wrote
Maybe but there are plenty other great choices too, like The Owl House, The Crown season 5, ROP, as well as ongoing shows like Bobs Burgers.
It depends what is the “in” thing to enjoy I guess
aylakadam03 t1_iud1kx5 wrote
You are downvoted by HotD echo chamber but you are right. It was fine I would give 7 but it wasnt anything special.
Every_Repair973 t1_iud1liw wrote
Succession won last year(bcs was nominated),so no way bcs will win this year.
aylakadam03 t1_iud1q3c wrote
That is the summary of HotD discussions. There is a toxic echo chamber and they are getting triggered when people righfully critice the show.
aylakadam03 t1_iud1xf8 wrote
Second part of BSC is better also it is the final of the show and it didnt win any emmy so far so this would be their last chance which is why they have a shot.
Every_Repair973 t1_iud29b6 wrote
Succession won last year when only succession and bcs deserve the award. And this year with the crown,rop,succession,hotd,(mybe the last of us),it's impossible.
nightfishin t1_iud2d68 wrote
I haven´t enjoyed Andor at all, dropped it after 5 episodes. The characters are cliche, uninteresting and boring. Not invested in any of them. The dialogue is bland without any personality, style or flair and filled repetition. Its not funny, clever or charming when it tries to be. The storylines are trite that have been done much better before. And RoP is like 2-3, one of the worst written shows I´ve ever watched.
whitebeltinhaiku t1_iud2pdn wrote
Much like their downvotes it just doesn't illicit much emotion in me. I watch it, then basically forget it exists. I'm not invested in these characters because they are all a bit flat, much like this show's colour palette actually. Game of thrones was unashamedly red blooded. This is... Not. There's no real excitement, no bawdy humour or scenes, even what action there was felt over choreographed. I haven't got around to watching the last episode because I just don't care that much.
Gummy_yumyum t1_iud2rqn wrote
I thought the second part was disappointing to be honest, but I still hope it wins.

I believe that dubious honour goes to The Wheel of Time.

Metacritic is pooling 500 users
House of the Dragon pools 230,000 users
Also critics are generally a lot snobbier about fantasy

Thats a tough one, both terrible. Not the LotR comparison Jordan wanted when he rewrote Tolkien´s work as Eye of the World.

It’ll be Succession vs The Crown next year at the Emmys I predict, but HotD will most definitely get nominated.

No, it's not good enough. It's like a 6.5. Not awful, but not great either.
