The Critical Drinker was right about The Expanse, Andor, and Arcane, but dead wrong about House of the Dragon. It stinks. I gave it a second go because I kept hearing good things, including from reviewers like The Drinker. I struggled through the first half of season 1 and was almost, kind of getting into it, when suddenly half the characters turned out to be Timelords who regenerated into different people between episodes. Hard pass.
@strypey Haha! I hated that. ONLY the women regenerated into different people though. The men don't change at all, except the king got a different wig.
@strypey Oh yeah, I forgot about that guy. And probably the babies regenerated into older children. The women could have easily been aged with make-up though. Totally agree that their replacements weren't as good.
@adam
At least one of the men regenerated. The one with the dreads who married the princess. Maybe only him. But yeah, mostly the women, and the replacements weren't as good in the roles as the originals. I think the big time jumps work better in novels than on the screen :/
